How it works

1. Feasibility assessment

We begin with a no-obligation assessment of your site, estimating potential savings and carbon reductions.

2. Custom proposal and design

Following assessment, you’ll receive a proposal with projected cost savings, a system design, and a draft lease for review.

3. Agreement and surveys

Upon agreeing to initial terms (non-binding), we carry out any necessary surveys at no cost to you.

4. Finalising the lease

After a successful survey, we finalise a roof lease agreement for 10 to 25 years, and happy to discuss any questions you may have about the lease.

5. Installation

Our team will arrange the installation around your schedule, with most projects completed within 1 to 2 weeks.

6. Ongoing support and maintenance

We monitor system performance daily, ensuring it runs smoothly, and you’re only billed for the energy you use.

End of lease options

At the end of your lease term, you can choose to continue with Low Carbon Hub under similar terms or have the panels removed, also at no cost.
