Commercial finance
Commercial solar finance options.
Commercial solar finance can involve different repayment structures, tax treatment and credit assessment. REST prepares this separately after reviewing the site, organisation and proposed system.
Project-led reviewFunding is considered against the organisation, site and proposed system.
Flexible structuresAvailable repayment routes depend on the provider and business circumstances.
Clear next stepREST prepares the technical and commercial information needed for discussion.
Finance routes
Choose the balance between faster ownership and lower monthly payments.
REST can discuss the available lender options after the system and customer requirements are understood.
02
Balanced repayment period
Mid-term spread
Spread the project cost over a moderate term while retaining more cash than an outright purchase would require.
03
Lower illustrative monthly repayment
Extended terms
A longer term may reduce the monthly repayment, although it will usually increase the total amount repayable.
Keep capital available
Finance can change when the project cost leaves your bank account.
Instead of paying the complete system value upfront, approved finance can divide the cost into scheduled repayments while the installed system begins generating.
Protect cash reserves
Keep more capital available for household priorities or business operations.
Predictable schedule
Use an agreed repayment schedule rather than one large initial payment.

How finance is arranged
A clear route from solar proposal to lender decision.
Design the system
REST prepares the proposed solar system and confirms the project value.
Review finance options
Available terms and representative information are explained before application.
Lender assessment
The lender completes status, creditworthiness and affordability checks.
Accept and install
After approval and completed documentation, the installation can be scheduled.
Consumer protection
Understand the agreement before you proceed.
Section 75 protection may apply to qualifying regulated debtor-creditor-supplier agreements, but it is not automatic for every agreement or circumstance. The lender's documentation explains the applicable rights and complaints route.

- Finance is subject to status and affordability assessment.

Representative example

Solar finance questions
Understand the cost, approval and protection before applying.
The exact finance offer comes from the lender after assessment. These answers explain the general process.
No. Finance is subject to status, affordability and lender approval. REST UK acts as a credit broker, not a lender, and cannot guarantee acceptance or a particular rate.
A representative APR is the rate that at least 51% of accepted applicants responding to the promotion are expected to receive or better. Your actual rate and repayment may differ after the lender completes its assessment.
Early settlement may be available, but the process and any applicable amount are set by the lender and the terms of the agreement. The lender should provide the exact settlement figure when requested.
Selected short-term promotional options may be available from time to time, subject to status, lender availability and the qualifying product. REST will confirm the finance options available when the proposal is prepared.
Section 75 may apply to qualifying regulated debtor-creditor-supplier agreements, but coverage depends on the agreement, purchase value and individual circumstances. Customers should review the lender documentation or seek independent advice where needed.
Commercial funding can be discussed separately. Business finance structures, eligibility and regulatory status vary according to the organisation and agreement, so REST prepares these options on a project-specific basis.
No guarantee can be made. Savings depend on the final system, electricity usage, tariff, export arrangements and future energy prices. Repayments depend on the amount borrowed, term and approved rate.
