We’re proud to offer a diverse range of purchasing options for our solar PV systems.
At Low Carbon, we understand that capital
constraints can sometimes stand in the way
of sustainable progress.
That’s why we partner with a range of funding providers to offer flexible financing options, ensuring that
your business can access our cutting-edge PV systems without the need for significant upfront investment.
Whether through leasing, an outright purchase, or a power purchase agreement (PPA), our solutions are designed to keep
your cash flow positive from day one, allowing you to invest your resources where they matter most.
We understand that no two businesses are the same, which is why we tailor our financing solutions
to meet your unique needs and goals.
Outright purchase
For those who prefer full ownership from the start, an outright purchase is a direct capital investment in a solar PV system. This option allows you to gain immediate control over the system, benefit from long-term energy savings, and have full ownership rights. It’s ideal for organisations looking to maximise their return on investment while securing a sustainable energy source for the future.
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
For those wanting to access solar energy without any upfront costs, a Power Purchase Agreement is a financing agreement that may suit you. Instead of investing in a solar PV system, you rent your roof or land and purchase the discounted solar electricity generated, benefiting from the savings without the need for ownership.
Asset Finance
We can also offer traditional loans secured against the value of the solar system. We partner with various loan providers to offer our customers access to competitive rates, ensuring you get the best financing terms available.
Leasing
This off-balance sheet financing option lets you spread payments over a 3 to 7-year term. At the end of the term, you own the system outright. Payments are typically made monthly or quarterly, offering flexibility and financial predictability.
Government-backed tax incentives
There are also various government-backed tax incentives designed to make your investment in sustainable energy more affordable.
These include:
Full Expensing – Businesses can deduct 100% of the cost of eligible machinery from their profits at the end of the financial year.
This can lead to tax savings ranging from 19% to 25% for
qualifying firms.
50% First-Year Allowance – Certain types of “long-life” plant and machinery (such as solar PV systems) are eligible for a 50% cost deduction from profits at the end of the year. This deduction can result in tax savings of approximately 9.5% to 12.5% for eligible businesses.
These incentives can significantly reduce your tax liability,
making the investment in solar energy even more attractive.
