Direct EPC
- How it works
- You pay for design, supply and build, and RGE delivers the project turnkey.
- Upfront cost
- Full project cost
- Ownership
- Yours from day one
- Best suited to
- Cash-rich firms wanting the highest lifetime savings
Commercial & financing models
Structured deals, not just installs.
Capital should not decide whether your site saves energy. Compare three ways to pay for the same engineered system, then see which one fits you.
Compare
Three models, one engineered system.
The engineering is the same whichever you choose. What changes is who pays upfront, who owns the system and how the savings reach you.
Lease-to-own
- How it works
- You pay fixed monthly instalments, and the savings offset the payment.
- Upfront cost
- Low or none, subject to credit
- Ownership
- Transfers to you at the end of the term
- Best suited to
- Firms preferring to preserve capital
Financed structure
- How it works
- A bank, asset-finance provider or investor funds the project, with RGE as engineer and contractor.
- Upfront cost
- Depends on lender terms
- Ownership
- As set out in the financing agreement
- Best suited to
- Larger or multi-site projects

Worked example
What a direct EPC project could look like.
An illustration of the direct EPC model, using the same savings assumptions as our online assessment. It is for explanation only and is not a quotation.
- System size
- 100 kWp
- Installed cost
- KES 12,000,000
- Saving per month
- KES 280,800
- Simple payback
- about 3.6 years
Assumptions. 130 kWh per kWp per month, 90% of output used on site, a blended tariff of KES 24 per kWh, no tariff escalation. Excludes maintenance, financing costs and taxes. Lease-to-own and financed structures spread this cost; their payments depend on terms set out in your proposal.
FAQ
Questions about paying for your system.
Which model gives the highest lifetime savings?
Direct EPC usually does, because you avoid financing costs and own the system from day one. The right choice also depends on your cash position and priorities, which is why your proposal compares all three.
Does lease-to-own depend on my credit?
Yes. Lease-to-own is subject to credit assessment, so the upfront cost can be low or none depending on your profile. Your proposal sets out the requirements.
Who provides the financing in a financed structure?
A bank, asset-finance provider or investor. Terms depend on the lender and are set out in your proposal, with RGE acting as engineer and contractor.
Can I change model after the assessment?
Yes. The assessment gives you an indicative view, and your commercial proposal compares all three models side by side so you can choose using real numbers.
Are the savings in the assessment guaranteed?
No. The assessment is a screening estimate, not a quotation. A site assessment confirms system size, yield and savings.
