Solar Fund
A flexible, smart funding solution for commercial
solar PV installations
- Achieve net positive cashflow outcomes from day one
- No capital, deposit or additional personal security required
- Low, fixed rate interest periods with predicable repayments
How It Works:
Solar Fund Finance
Our Solar Fund offers long loan tenors with competitive fixed rate interest periods for solar PV upgrades to existing commercial buildings. With terms of up to 20 years available, your project could be cashflow positive from day one – with your savings exceeding repayments.
Our expert team can work with you and your solar installer to find the perfect term that maximises your savings and cashflow.
Don’t be scared of the longer finance term – Solar Fund’s unique structure mean that the finance is secured by the land, not the owner, so that if the property is sold, the solar system and the finance stay with the property for the new owner to benefit from.
A form of Environmental Upgrade Finance, our Solar Fund does what other financial products simply can’t, and helps businesses realise their dream of saving money and generating their own electricity.
