ChargeServe funds and owns
ChargeServe puts up the capital and owns the asset for the life of the agreement.
Commercial rooftop solar
Rooftop solar on your building, owned by ChargeServe.
ChargeServe funds, owns, insures, monitors and maintains rooftop solar on commercial sites. Your business buys the power the system produces at agreed rates, without buying the asset itself.
What ChargeServe offers
The power, not the purchase.
A commercial solar PPA is useful when the roof is suitable, the site can use the power, but the business does not want to commit capital to owning and running the system.
ChargeServe takes the ownership role. That means the commercial incentive is long-term asset performance, not a one-off install margin. If the system performs well, ChargeServe performs well.
The model
ChargeServe owns the asset. The host buys the output.

The host buys the output
The host pays for power or charging output at agreed rates, without owning the asset.
The important distinction is ownership. ChargeServe owns the asset. The host buys the output. UK delivery is supported by BuildPilot’s vetted-installer standard.

FAQ
Questions businesses usually ask before considering rooftop solar.
The model is deliberately simple, but the site still needs proper assessment before any proposal is made.
Does the host buy the solar system?
No. Under the ChargeServe model, ChargeServe funds and owns the system. The host buys the power it produces under agreed commercial terms.
Is every commercial roof suitable?
No. Suitability depends on roof area, structure, condition, access, electrical position, energy demand and the consent route.
Who maintains the solar system?
ChargeServe owns, monitors, insures and maintains the asset for the agreement term.
Can landlords use this model?
Yes, but let buildings need a clearer review of roof control, tenant electricity use, lease structure and what happens if the building is sold.
Counterparty confidence
An owner, not a contractor.
ChargeServe does not install and leave. It owns the asset for the agreement term, so the long-term performance of the system is the business model.
