Make Your Green Investments Work
By choosing to finance investment in renewables, organisations can preserve their capital for essential operations and growth projects, allowing them to maintain financial flexibility and agility.
Renewable financing also enables businesses to distribute the costs of renewable energy projects over time, mitigating the financial burden associated with large upfront expenditures whilst simultaneously reducing exposure to potential risks.
In many cases, installing renewable technology can result in significant energy savings for the organisation, and those savings can offset the finance repayments resulting in a cost-positive solution.
What’s more, embracing renewables in your organisation can lead to significant tax advantages, as there are tax incentives and credits for businesses adopting environmentally friendly initiatives.
Deciding Between Capital Expenditure Or A Funded Solution
Choosing between purchasing a solar system or opting for a funded solution depends on your business’s long-term strategy and availability of capital for investment.
One of the main benefits of self-financing is that the business owns the system outright and can take advantage of any tax incentives or rebates that may be available. The business can also benefit from larger long-term savings on energy costs.
If the financial resources are available to invest in solar, then you can typically see a return on investment in under 5 years.
Each financing option has its own benefits and drawbacks and we recommend that businesses carefully consider their options and choose the solution that best meets their needs.
Financial Solutions
Asset finance
With solar asset finance your business can benefit from solar power without paying the upfront costs. Paying regular instalments suits some businesses more than making a capital outlay. The savings generally outweigh the repayments, meaning that a cash positive business case can be achieved.
Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
A solar PPA, as the name suggests, is an agreement to purchase power. Not unlike your current energy bill, you will commit to buying electricity (at a lower cost). However, under a PPA this is combined with a lease to allow a third party to install a solar array on your property to generate the renewable electricity. PPAs have the benefit of having no upfront cost, and no debt raised on your balance sheet, which is why they are known as a zero-capital solution.
