I have a client that had a similar deal done on their farm. The supplier built a solar plant on the farm for free and the client pays for the electricity generated by the plant only (some is used and some is pushed into the ESKOM grid for credits)
After 20 years, ownership of the plant transfers to the client at no cost
The rate that the client paid for electricity was very low compared to the normal ESKOM rates and it worked great for the client, but the company that supplied it went bankrupt and I think it's largely due to having high capital expenditures building the solar plants with low monthly cashflows coming in
