Finance question
Can I finance solar for my business premises?
Yes. A commercial solar system can be financed as equipment, secured by the system itself, so you fund the install now and offset the repayments against the power bill it reduces. Amounts reach up to $500,000, often low-doc or no-doc, with approvals frequently in 24 to 48 hours.

The short answer
Fund the system, offset the bill
A rooftop solar system is fundable equipment. The panels, inverters and any battery form an asset that produces value, so the system secures its own finance. That means you can install now rather than waiting to save the full cost, and pay it off over the years it keeps generating.
The economics are the point. A well-sized system lowers the power bill from day one, so the finance repayment is set against the saving rather than added on top of it. Whether the numbers stack up depends on your usage, tariff and the system, but that offset is what makes solar a common equipment-finance deal.
Amounts reach up to $500,000, often low-doc or no-doc with no full financials on many applications. With 40+ lenders on the panel, the job is matching your system and profile to the lender most likely to approve it, so the install can go ahead quickly.
Financing also keeps the cash you would have spent on the system in the business. A large upfront outlay for a rooftop install is money that could sit behind stock, wages or the next job, and paying it all at once cancels out some of the benefit of going solar. Spreading the cost lets the system reduce your bill while your working capital stays intact.
Do you qualify?
What makes a solar system fundable.
A specific system
A quoted solar install, panels, inverter and any battery, to secure the finance.
An active ABN
Sole traders and companies both qualify.
A power bill to cut
The saving is what the repayment is set against.
A deposit can help
Not always required, but it can widen your options.
Why solar finances well
The system secures it
Security in the install keeps the deal simple and often low-doc.
Repayment vs saving
The bill it cuts offsets the cost of the finance.
Install now
You start saving straight away rather than waiting to save the full cost.
A real example
A workshop with a heavy daytime power load installs a rooftop system to cut its bill. Financed on the system rather than paid upfront, the monthly repayment is set against the power saving, so the cash stays in the business. Approved low-doc inside two days. Illustrative only.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can the repayment be covered by the saving?
Often the idea is to set the repayment against the power bill the system reduces. Whether it fully covers it depends on your usage, tariff and system size.
Can I finance a battery too?
Yes, batteries and inverters can be financed as part of the system, secured by the equipment.
Do I need financials?
Often no. Because the system secures the loan, many deals are low-doc or no-doc.
How much can I borrow?
Equipment finance reaches up to $500,000, sized to the system and your profile.
