Renewable energy finance
Cut energy costs with savings that help fund the kit.
Commercial solar, battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps — funded so savings can offset repayments.
A more useful starting point
Renewable energy finance: what matters before you enquire
Renewable-energy finance turns a capital project into a planned payment while the installation aims to reduce energy cost or improve resilience. The quality of the savings case matters as much as the equipment list.
Who commonly uses it: Manufacturers, warehouses, farms, retailers, offices and fleet operators consider solar, batteries, EV charging, heat pumps and lighting upgrades to manage cost and capacity.
Routes to compare: Finance lease or hire purchase can fund eligible equipment and installation. The best structure depends on asset life, ownership preference, site permissions, expected savings and whether the system is integrated with a property.
What we can fund
Common funding routes
Match the structure to the job the asset must do.
There is no universal best route. Compare ownership, useful life, deposit, payment profile, VAT, security and the end-of-term plan.
Finance lease →
With a finance lease you rent an asset for most of its useful life. The lender keeps legal ownership while your business enjoys full use of the equipment.
Hire purchase →
Hire purchase splits the price of an asset into regular payments. Once the final instalment and any option fee are paid, ownership passes to your business.

Plan the economics
Questions lenders and owners will care about.
- →Savings are estimates and depend on usage, tariff, generation, degradation and maintenance
- →Longer-life systems may justify a different term from short-life control hardware
- →Separate the equipment from building work, connection fees and grant funding
- →Insurance, monitoring, warranties and replacement of components should be understood
Typical use cases
What this can look like in practice.
Can savings cover the repayments?+
That depends on your usage and the installation; an installer's projection is a useful starting point.
Can projected savings cover repayments?+
They may contribute, but model conservative savings and keep a cash buffer.
Does the installer provide a warranty and performance estimate?+
Those documents help a lender understand the asset and give the business a realistic plan.
Who owns the system if the premises change?+
Check lease, landlord, removal and transfer provisions before committing.
