Solar Panel Finance
Have you considered adding solar panels to your commercial property? Whether you own or rent your premises, solar panels could save you £1,000s every year on electricity bills, lower your carbon footprint, and raise your potential additional income.
But many businesses are priced out of these benefits, as they have to pay for solar panels up front. Spreading payments over a period of time, therefore, makes funding solar tech significantly easier.

Funding for your Solar Panel Project
The long-term financial and environmental benefits of solar energy are well documented — lower utility bills, a reduced carbon footprint, and greater energy independence. But for many businesses, the upfront cost can be difficult to justify. At Origin, we understand the pressure that puts on your cash flow.
That’s why we offer flexible asset finance solutions that let you spread the cost over up to eight years. The lender pays the supplier of your choice, and you repay the total in fixed monthly instalments — giving you control and predictability from day one.
You can also include delivery, infrastructure, installation, and even ancillary system costs in the total amount funded. This approach keeps your initial outlay low while allowing you to future-proof your business and benefit from clean, cost-effective energy for years to come.
Are high upfront costs pricing your business out of sustainable tech? Distributing payments over a period of time could help significantly.
How Does Financing for Solar Panel Installations Work?
While solar panels offer clear long-term savings, the upfront costs can be difficult to manage. Asset Finance helps spread the cost over time, using the equipment as security. Business Loans are ideal for related works or groundworks. Some businesses may also qualify for the Growth Guarantee Scheme.
Once you’re ready, your Account Manager will compare lenders, secure a tailored offer, and guide you through the process. Funding can often be approved and ready to release within 24 hours, depending on the complexity of your installation and the strength of your application.
To support your financial planning, try our repayment calculators to estimate monthly costs based on your budget and project scope. Our eligibility checker provides a quick, commitment-free way to see what funding options might be available for your business.
