If it earns its keep, we've probably funded one.
Commercial solar PV
Roof-mount and ground-mount, 30kWp to 5MWp. Funded with optimisers, monitoring and install bundled.
Battery storage
Behind-the-meter and grid-scale BESS. Tesla Megapack, BYD, Pixii, GivEnergy. Funded with EMS software.
EV charging
AC, DC fast and ultra-rapid chargers. Workplace, fleet depot and destination. Project install bundled.
Heat pumps & ground source
Commercial-scale ASHP, GSHP, hybrid systems. Funded with controls, ducting and commissioning.
Biomass & AD
Biomass boilers, anaerobic digestion plant, CHP units. Specialist lenders for the niche.
Energy management
Submetering, voltage optimisation, LED retrofit, building management systems.

Structure
HP for owned-asset full-expensing; PPA-style lease for self-consumption models; project finance for utility-scale solar and BESS.
The usual pain.
Green kit is 'too new' for some lenders
BESS and ultra-rapid charging are evolving fast. Generic lenders won't touch the residual. Green-asset specialists model on energy output, not auction value.
Long payback puts banks off
Solar pays back in 7–10 years — mainstream lenders cap terms at 5–7. We use lenders who'll match term to payback up to 120 months.
Install costs can equal kit cost
Cabling, switchgear, civils and DNO connections often equal the kit cost. Mainstream lenders cap soft costs. Green-specialists fund 100%.
How we structure it.
Green-asset specialist lenders
Funders who model self-consumption savings, export tariffs and ROI to size the right facility. Three of them fund nothing else.
Long-tenor available
Up to 120 months on solar PV — properly matched to payback. ECA-backed structures available on imported European stock.
Project finance for utility-scale
Solar farms, large BESS, AD plant funded as project finance with revenue-aligned repayment.

ExploreQuestions renewables & ev customers ask.
What's the maximum term for commercial solar?
Up to 120 months (10 years) on prime PV with a credible install partner. Properly matched to payback.
Can install, switchgear and DNO connection be bundled?
Yes — green-asset specialists typically fund 100% of project cost including civils, switchgear, DNO works and commissioning. No soft-asset cap.
Will lenders fund battery storage standalone?
Yes — increasingly common for behind-the-meter BESS and grid-services BESS. We have three lenders comfortable up to £2m on standalone BESS.
How may solar assets be treated for capital allowances?
Solar panels are normally special-rate assets for capital-allowance purposes. Relief can depend on the business, the asset, acquisition method and current rules; full expensing has specific conditions and should not be assumed. Confirm the position with an accountant or tax adviser before entering an agreement.
