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)
Own the commercial solar system outright and receive the full financial benefit generated by the asset.
- Immediate ownership of the system
- No ongoing finance repayments
- Potentially stronger long-term return on investment
- Energy savings begin once the system is operational
- May suit businesses with available capital
- Tax treatment will depend on your circumstances
Commercial Solar Finance
Spread the cost of an eligible commercial solar project over an agreed term while preserving capital for other business priorities.
- Reduced or no upfront payment may be available
- Helps preserve working capital
- Scheduled repayments over an agreed term
- Install solar sooner rather than waiting for capital
- Solar, battery storage and EV charging may be included
- Finance available through DLL, subject to approval
Understand Your Commercial Solar ROI Before You Invest
Choosing how to fund commercial solar can be just as important as choosing the right system.
Led by Neil Armstrong, General Manager – Green Energy, Sharp EIT can help you understand how purchasing outright or using commercial finance may affect your cash flow, project costs, payback period and estimated return on investment.
Our team can assess the total project cost, available incentives, projected electricity savings and finance options so you can compare the financial outcomes before deciding how to proceed.
There is no obligation and no need to have a project ready to go. It is simply an opportunity to discuss your site, your energy use and the potential financial return of a commercial solar investment.
