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.

"We could never have come up with that kind of money to fund solar panels on our own, so we’re very grateful to Sustainable Australia Fund for their help and making that happen."
"Financing the installation through the Sustainable Australia Fund allowed the investment to occur without impacting the other lines of credit available to the club. Rates charged were competitive with the market so there was no reason not to use the Sustainable Australia Fund."
"While almost every business is keen to install solar on their roof, the finance is normally the most complex part, and it’s usually the part where the business decides it’s too hard. So the good thing about an EUA is it takes away a lot of that complexity. It’s very simple, very clean, it’s paid off through council rates, it’s backed by council."
Our finance is currently enabled in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. Look up your address
to see if it's available to businesses in your council area.
