Finance options
Ways to fund your solar
Most Gold Coast businesses fund commercial solar one of three ways, a capital purchase, a payment plan, or a power purchase agreement. With the zero-upfront options the repayments are typically cash-flow positive from day one. We model each path against your bills so you can pick what suits your objectives.
Best lifetime returnCapital purchase
Buy the system outright and own it from day one. You capture every dollar of saving and the available depreciation benefits, for the strongest long-term return.
- You own the asset
- Maximum lifetime saving
- Depreciation benefits
- Fastest path to free power
Spread the costPayment plan / solar loan
Finance the system over a term so the repayments are offset by the energy savings. You own the asset while spreading the cost, often close to cash-flow neutral or better.
- Own the system
- Spread the cost over time
- Repayments offset by savings
- Typically cash-flow positive
$0 upfrontPower purchase agreement
We fund, install, own and maintain the system. You simply buy the power it generates at a fixed rate, usually below grid, and save from day one with no capital outlay.
- No upfront cost
- Maintenance included
- Fixed rate below grid
- Often an operating expense (ask your accountant)
