Solar PPAs for multi-let commercial buildings

April 2026·6 min read

A practical look at how PPAs work in shared-occupancy assets — landlord-as-generator, tenant-as-off-taker, common parts, and how to keep the metering coherent.

The structures landlords actually use

  • Landlord-as-generator with tenant PPAs per demise
  • Landlord self-consumption for common parts, with export to grid
  • Sleeved arrangements via a licensed supplier
  • Hybrid: PPA for anchor tenants, recharge for the rest

What the platform needs to track

For each structure the platform needs the generator MPAN, the demise sub-meters, the contracted unit rate, indexation, and the export point. Billing & Export handles the reconciliation end-to-end.
