Revenue model

1. Rooftop Solar Lease & Ownership: Sunrock develops, owns, and maintains rooftop PV systems on commercial and industrial properties. Sunrock leases roof space from property owners and installs and operates solar installations, selling generated electricity to tenants via PPAs or LPPAs. This is a long-term asset ownership model with recurring electricity revenue over multi-decade project lifetimes.
2. Project Financing (Joint Venture): Sunrock structures project financing through joint ventures with financial partners (e.g., KBC Bank NV) to fund large rooftop solar portfolios. Sunrock retains technical and commercial development responsibility while external financing covers capital expenditure. The company raised EUR 55 million from KBC for a ~65 MWp German portfolio.
3. Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA): Sunrock supplies dedicated clean energy to commercial and industrial customers through CPPAs linking specific business locations to local solar projects. Provides long-term price stability, protects against market volatility, and generates recurring revenue from energy supply.
4. Energy Trading & Flexibility Services: Sunrock's in-house energy trading team optimises solar power yields and offers flexibility to the power grid. Stored energy can be offered on trade markets when not needed for self-consumption, providing additional revenue from energy market participation.
5. Operations & Maintenance (O&M): Sunrock provides ongoing asset management including monitoring, maintenance, regulatory compliance, efficiency and performance optimisation, and regular reporting to clients. This generates recurring service revenue over the operational lifetime of installed systems.
