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.

Sorted in 36 hours
"Bank wanted three weeks just to look at the file. AssetFi had the agreement signed and the digger paid for in 36 hours. Couldn't fault them."
Genuinely no fees
"I'd been stung by brokers before so I asked twice — really, no fees? Confirmed in writing. Got a sharper rate than my bank too. They've now done four vans for me."
Understood our cash flow
"We needed a CBCT scanner but our last accounts had a bad quarter. AssetFi went to specialist healthcare lenders, came back with three options and explained each properly. Brilliant."

Questions 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.
Does HP qualify for full expensing on solar?
Solar PV qualifies for the special-rate pool, not main-rate, so full expensing rules differ from standard plant. Confirm with your accountant — we'll structure for the cleanest tax outcome.
