We are dedicated to making renewable energy accessible to businesses of all sizes. That’s why we’ve partnered with Sustainable Energy Finance Limited, a specialist in renewable energy finance, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Through this partnership, we offer a variety of flexible financing options, alongside self-financing or outright purchase, to support your investment in Solar PV systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Whether you’re seeking to invest in solar energy with no upfront capital or prefer to spread the cost over several years, our financing options provide the flexibility and security you need. These solutions help your business reduce energy costs while contributing to a more sustainable future.

Our financing options

We offer five financing solutions tailored to meet your business needs:

Outright purchase

Own the solar PV system outright from day one and immediately benefit from reduced energy bills and potential government incentives. This option provides full control and ownership from the start.

Hire purchase

Spread the cost of your solar PV installation over a fixed period. Once all payments are completed, you’ll own the system, enabling long-term savings while effectively managing your cash flow.

Lease

Avoid the costs associated with ownership while still enjoying the benefits of the energy produced. With a lease agreement, you make regular payments to use the system without taking on full ownership, ensuring predictable costs and energy savings.

Solar

Secure a business loan through our finance partner to cover the cost of your Solar PV system. This allows you to pay for the system over time while benefiting from clean energy.

Power purchase agreements (PPA)

With a PPA, you can install a solar PV system at no upfront cost. A third party finances, installs, and owns the system, while you benefit from lower energy bills by purchasing the energy at a fixed rate under a long-term contract.

Why choose our finance solutions?

No significant upfront costs

Access Solar PV systems and energy storage without requiring a large capital outlay, making it easier to invest in renewable energy solutions.

Tailored financing options

Whether you prefer outright ownership or spreading the cost over time, our flexible finance solutions are designed to suit the specific needs of your business.

Frees up your working capital

Our financing options allow you to preserve your working capital for other critical business projects.

Long term energy savings

Benefit from reduced energy costs over time, improving your financial predictability and sustainability.

Hassle-free process

We handle the entire financing process through our trusted partner, Sustainable Energy Finance Limited, ensuring a smooth and straightforward experience.

Quick turnaround

Financing for most projects can be arranged within a week, provided all required financial information is submitted, enabling you to start reaping the benefits of renewable energy sooner.

How the process works

For businesses interested in Asset Finance, our team can quickly provide indicative terms upon receipt of your system design report, which helps determine project costs and the return on investment (ROI). Our finance partner collaborates with a range of lenders, such as Lombard and Investec, to secure competitive rates and flexible terms, with up to 100% funding available for up to 10 years.

For businesses opting for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), the process typically takes 8–12 weeks due to additional contractual arrangements, such as air space leases and discussions with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). However, the long-term energy savings and avoidance of upfront costs make this a highly popular option for businesses aiming to lower energy expenses without initial investment.

Integrated Approach: Maximising Benefits

By combining tax incentives with appropriate financing options, businesses can reduce upfront costs and maximise the return on investment for solar projects.
