Bringing private capital
to public infrastructure

The Model

Simple by design.
Built for the long term.

Our Solar as a Service model removes every barrier to adoption: technical, financial, and operational. Your organisation benefits from day one without committing a penny of capital.

01
We assess your buildings
Our team conducts a no-obligation assessment of your rooftop portfolio, identifying the sites with the strongest solar potential and the greatest long-term financial benefit to your organisation.
02
We fund and install everything
Drayton Energy Capital provides one hundred percent of the capital required. We manage procurement, installation, and grid connection. Your organisation contributes nothing and carries no construction risk.
03
You buy the electricity we generate
Under a private-wire Power Purchase Agreement running from 15 to 25 years, you purchase electricity generated directly on your rooftop at a rate 20 to 50 percent below current grid prices. Price certainty is built into the agreement from the outset.
04
We operate and maintain the assets
Drayton owns and operates the solar infrastructure throughout the life of the agreement. Maintenance, monitoring, and performance guarantees are fully included. There is no operational burden on your team at any point.
Why it works
Private finance solving a public sector challenge
Many councils and NHS trusts carry ambitious decarbonisation targets alongside real capital constraints. Drayton bridges that gap by deploying private investment into public infrastructure. Returns are generated through long-term energy purchase agreements rather than grants or public funding, making the model financially sustainable for all parties.

Upfront capital
"The energy transition is a community challenge as much as a commercial one."

Drayton Energy Capital was founded on the belief that the institutions serving our communities, including councils, schools, and NHS trusts, should not be left behind in the shift to clean energy simply because of capital constraints.


We exist to close that gap: bringing institutional-grade solar infrastructure to the buildings that matter most, funded entirely by private capital, at no cost to the public purse.
