What are the different solar finances available?

We offer two different types of Solar Finance: PPA and Asset Finance.

Are there grants available for solar business?

Yes, there are grants available but they are very specific to area and sector and are subject to change. If there is a grant available in your area, AlphaGen Energy will work with you to help you get it.

How do I qualify for solar finance?

To access the most keenly priced finance, you would need to provide 3 years of accounts.

Is solar financing available for all business sizes?

Yes. Whether you're an SME or a large industrial operator, there are tailored financing packages available to suit your energy needs and cash flow.

Are there tax or accounting benefits to financing solar?

Yes. Depending on the finance structure, your business may benefit from capital allowances, reduced corporation tax, and off-balance sheet treatment in some cases. We recommend discussing this with your accountant for tailored advice.

COMPARING 4 ASSET FINANCE OPTIONS TO CAPEX

The graph below compares the cumulative P&L of your solar installation when financed over 3, 4, 5, and 7 years, versus a cash purchase. It is based on a 140kWp system, with 80% of the generated energy used on-site by the system owner.

Graph Insight

This comparison highlights how solar finance options can outperform upfront cash purchases offering earlier savings, improved cash flow, and making solar more accessible for growing businesses.

Here’s Why:

Protects cash flow – no large upfront payment required.
Faster return on investment – finance models often deliver positive cash positions earlier than CapEx.
Improves EPC ratings – helps meet energy performance and compliance standards.
Supports sustainability goals – reduce carbon footprint and enhance green credentials.
Keeps capital free – preserve funds for growth, innovation, or other core investments.

Our Financing Categories

To explore your financing options, contact Paul Ross at paul@alphagen-energy.com for a confidential assessment.

Paul will arrange a call to discuss your specific requirements.

Asset Finance

An FCA regulated funding partner will provide funding for 100% of your solar installation.

Re-payments can be over a 3 to 7 year period and thanks to our usual IRR (investment rate of return) of over 25%, the scheme can be cash positive from day 1.

The solar system is recorded on your balance sheet and owned by you from the outset.

Actual Example:

5 Year Repayment

System Size: 136 kWp

Own Use Percentage: 78%

Scheme Cost: £93,684.00

Total Cash Payment: £1,389.00

Annual Saving in Year 6: £26,962.00

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAS)

Under a PPA agreement, a long-term investor funds, owns, operates, maintains and insures the entire solar installation. In return, you purchase your electricity at a highly competitive fixed or floating rate for up to 25 years.

This is ideal for both larger energy users as well as being a viable option for SME’s.
