Spreading the cost
Grants rarely cover a commercial system outright. Asset finance is how most of our farm and business customers actually pay for one.
A commercial solar or battery system is a capital purchase that pays back over years, so paying for it over years often makes more sense than paying up front. Asset finance lets you keep the cash in the business and set the repayments against the energy saving from day one.
This is business finance. It's available to limited companies, partnerships and sole traders borrowing for business purposes. It isn't available for finance on a domestic installation. If you're a homeowner, the grant checker is the better starting point.

Indicative only, and not a quotation or an offer of finance. The figures assume an average interest rate for the selected credit profile; your actual terms depend on a credit search and the lender's assessment. Finance is arranged through Aureum Finance, an independent finance broker, who may pay or receive commission. Available for business purposes only.
Representative example
Borrowing £20,000 over 60 months on a fair credit profile: £488.63 per month, total repayable £29,318.00. Representative 16.2% APR. Includes a broker arrangement fee added to the amount financed.
What to know before you commit
- The figures here are indicative. Your actual rate depends on a credit search and the lender's own assessment.
- A broker arrangement fee is added to the amount financed, so you repay interest on slightly more than you borrow. The calculator shows this as its own line.
- The flat rate and the APR are not the same thing. The APR is the figure to compare against other offers.
- Finance is arranged through Aureum Finance, an independent finance broker. They may pay or receive commission.
- We're the installer, not the lender. We don't make the credit decision and we don't set the rate.

The calculator gives you a ballpark. A proper system design gives you the actual capital cost and the energy saving to set against it, which is the comparison that matters.
