Green energy FAQ
Questions before applying for green energy finance
These questions cover estimate guidance, secure application and project structure.
Can energy-efficient equipment projects be financed?
Energy-efficient equipment projects can often be considered where supplier scope, project cost, business use and deployment timeline are clear. Final structure depends on lender criteria and deal context.
Can EV charging infrastructure be included?
EV charging infrastructure may be considered where the project scope, installation context and business requirement are clearly documented.
Can solar and renewables-related systems be financed?
We may be able to finance solar and renewable equipment if the supplier, costs and installation plan are clear. We do not guarantee savings or energy outcomes.
Can generators and battery storage be financed?
Generators, UPS systems and battery storage may be considered where the equipment, installation costs and business need are clear. Backup power is often part of a wider site project, and it can usually be reviewed alongside the rest of the works.
Can green energy projects include equipment, installation and services together?
In many cases, yes. Mixed project structures can often be reviewed together, subject to project scope, lender appetite and documentation.
Is a finance estimate the same as approval?
No. Figures are indicative only and are not finance offers. Final approval is subject to status, lender criteria, affordability, documentation and approval.
