SolarLeadsSolar power is no longer just an environmental statement; it's a strategic financial decision. A 50kWp solar system can save your business approximately £17,000 annually. The question isn't if you should go solar, but how you should finance it.
Choose the financing route that best fits your business strategy, cash flow, and financial goals. Each pathway is designed to maximize your return while meeting your specific business needs.
The Zero-Capital Model
We install, own, and maintain the solar system on your roof. You simply buy the electricity generated at a rate lower than the grid—with zero capital outlay.
Maximum Returns Model
Purchase the system outright and own it from day one. Maximize your long-term returns with the highest net gain and complete control over your energy asset.
Spread-Cost Ownership Model
Own the asset with minimal upfront capital. Spread payments over time while immediately benefiting from energy savings that often exceed monthly repayments.
Off-Balance-Sheet Model
Fixed monthly payments with no upfront cost. Keep the asset off your balance sheet while benefiting from predictable costs and potential end-of-term ownership options.
