Commercial Solar Finance Backed by a Trusted Partnership

Commercial Solar Finance Backed by a Trusted Partnership

At Sharp EIT, we understand that every business has different financial priorities. That's why we've partnered with DLL, a global asset finance specialist, to help eligible businesses access flexible finance for commercial solar, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure.

Rather than simply arranging finance, we work with you to understand your energy requirements, model your projected savings and compare the financial outcomes of purchasing outright versus financing your project.

With Sharp EIT delivering the engineering, installation and ongoing support, and DLL providing commercial finance (subject to approval), businesses benefit from a streamlined solution delivered through trusted specialists.

Overview

#Finance Options for Your Business

Sharp EIT helps businesses invest in commercial solar without compromising their broader financial priorities. Compare an outright capital purchase with commercial finance available through our partnership with DLL, based on your project costs, cash flow and expected return.

Capital Purchase (CapEx)

Capital Purchase (CapEx)

Purchase your commercial solar system upfront and own the asset from installation.

CapEx may suit businesses that:

  • Have capital available to invest
  • Prefer outright asset ownership
  • Want to avoid ongoing finance repayments
  • Are focused on long-term energy cost reduction
  • Want to capture the full financial benefit of the system

Your project can be assessed against expected electricity savings, payback and estimated ROI before you invest.

Commercial Solar Finance

Commercial Solar Finance

Finance your commercial solar system and spread the project cost over an agreed term, helping preserve capital for other business priorities.

Commercial solar finance may suit businesses that:

  • Prefer to preserve working capital
  • Want to avoid a large upfront investment
  • Need predictable repayments
  • Want to start reducing electricity costs sooner
  • Prefer to spread the cost of solar over time

$0 upfront finance options are available for eligible businesses, subject to credit approval.

Understand the Financial Case Before You Invest

Understand the Financial Case Before You Invest

Whether you purchase your commercial solar system upfront or finance the project, understanding the financial case is an important part of the decision.

Sharp EIT models your projected electricity savings, system cost, payback and estimated ROI using your actual energy profile. This allows you to compare the investment against your current electricity costs and determine which funding approach may suit your business.

#Let’s Talk About Your Solar Finance Options

Whether you’re considering an upfront capital purchase or commercial solar finance, Sharp EIT can help you compare the options and understand what may work best for your project, cash flow and business priorities.

#Commercial Solar Finance FAQs

What are the main commercial solar finance options?

Businesses generally choose between purchasing a commercial solar system outright or using commercial finance to spread the project cost over an agreed term.

Sharp EIT can help compare both options based on project cost, available incentives, projected electricity savings, cash flow and expected return on investment.



Can I install commercial solar with no upfront cost?

Eligible businesses may be able to access finance that reduces or removes the need for a large upfront payment.

Availability depends on the project, business circumstances and DLL’s credit assessment. Fees, terms and conditions apply.


Who provides the commercial solar finance?

Finance is provided by DLL.

Sharp EIT assesses, designs and delivers the commercial solar project, while DLL provides finance for approved applicants.


Can solar, battery storage and EV charging be financed together?

Yes, eligible commercial energy projects may include solar, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure.

What can be included will depend on the project and approved finance structure.


Will the electricity savings cover my finance repayments?

They may offset part or all of the repayments, but this cannot be guaranteed.

The outcome depends on factors including system size, energy usage, electricity tariffs, available incentives, system performance and the approved finance structure.

Sharp EIT can model the projected savings alongside the project cost before you proceed.


Can government solar incentives be used with finance?

Eligible commercial solar incentives may reduce the net project cost and therefore the amount that needs to be financed.

The value of any incentive will depend on the system size, installation date, location and applicable scheme requirements.


Is commercial solar finance tax deductible?

Tax treatment depends on the finance structure and the circumstances of your business. Repayments, depreciation or other deductions may apply in some cases.

Sharp EIT does not provide tax advice, so businesses should obtain independent tax or accounting advice before proceeding.



Can I finance commercial solar across multiple sites?

Potentially, yes.

Sharp EIT can assess multi-site commercial solar projects and help develop a staged or coordinated rollout. Finance remains subject to DLL approval.
