Solar Finance for Businesses
Commercial solar, funded around the payback, not the invoice.
Rooftop and ground-mount PV pays back over years. Installers want paying on commissioning. Finance sits in the middle, and it should be shaped around generation, not guesswork.
Typical project size , £50,000 – £2,500,000
What usually gets in the way
- A 250kWp roof array is a six-figure capital decision most finance directors keep deferring.
- Payback models assume day-one generation, but cash leaves the business months earlier.
- Generic lenders price solar like plant and machinery and miss the yield entirely.
Why businesses finance it
- Keep working capital in the operation rather than on the roof.
- Match repayments to the energy cost you stop paying each month.
- Preserve existing bank facilities and overdraft headroom.
How GRID helps
Structured by people who read the load profile first.
We read your generation model, half-hourly consumption and export position before we structure anything.
We size terms against realistic self-consumption, not brochure yields.
We handle staged drawdowns for phased installs and DNO-delayed connections.
Example projects
Real shapes, real structures.
Manufacturing rooftop, 480kWp
High daytime load, strong self-consumption, funded over 7 years alongside a lighting upgrade.
Cold store, 300kWp + inverters
Refrigeration load profile matched almost perfectly to generation curve.
Ground-mount on surplus land, 900kWp
Split funding across array, groundworks and connection works.
