Companies We have Worked with
Outright Purchase
For businesses that prefer complete ownership and control of their solar system, an outright purchase allows you to make a one-time payment. This option provides immediate energy savings and long-term financial benefits by reducing your reliance on grid electricity. With outright ownership, you can take full advantage of all energy cost savings from day one.
- 100% of savings received directly
- No ongoing payments
- Payback period typically between 3-6 years
- May qualify for instant asset write-off benefits
Rental Lease
If you prefer flexibility and lower upfront costs, our rental lease option allows you to lease the solar equipment with fixed monthly payments. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the financial burden of full ownership. At the end of the lease term, you can opt to purchase the system for a small residual amount.
- No upfront capital required
- Fixed-term repayments
- Immediate energy cost savings
- Ownership can be transferred at the end of the lease term
Chattel Mortgage
A chattel mortgage offers a way to finance your solar system while maintaining ownership from the start. By spreading the cost over a fixed term, typically between 5-10 years, this option helps you manage cash flow while benefiting from solar energy. This option can offer tax benefits, such as depreciation, and may make you eligible for instant asset write-offs.
- Fixed monthly payment plan
- Retain ownership from the beginning
- Tax benefits through depreciation
- Potentially cash-flow positive from the first year
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
A PPA allows businesses to benefit from solar power without any upfront costs. With a PPA, Australian Energy Upgrades installs the solar system at your premises at no cost to you. You only pay for the electricity generated, often at a lower rate than traditional utility prices. At the end of the agreement term, ownership of the system is typically transferred to you.
- No initial investment required
- Pay only for the electricity generated by the system
- Fixed energy rates lower than grid prices
- Maintenance and insurance covered by the PPA provider
Environmental Upgrade Agreement (EUA)
EUAs are designed to help businesses fund energy efficiency projects with long-term, low-risk financing. Offered through the Sustainable Australia Fund (SAF), these agreements involve the local council and allow repayment via the property’s rates notice. EUAs provide a cost-effective way to upgrade your property’s energy infrastructure while benefiting from tax advantages and improved cash flow.
- No upfront capital needed
- Long-term fixed-rate finance (1-20 years)
- Competitive interest rates available
- Potential tax benefits for both property owners and tenants

Fantastic service from 1st phone call to installation. Great unit (I upgraded to larger model) & fairly quiet. Have not run out of hot water since installed … best decision made!
Heleana Harvey
Communication was clear and believable . Work carried out by tradies was quick and efficient and they turned up when they said they would. Finished job looks good and works well. Definitely a winner.
Peter Nunn
Customer Service was professional and thorough. As someone who isn’t all that familiar with solar systems and the process involved, no question was too difficult to answer which gave me comfort and confidence. The tradespeople kept their promise, arriving on time and delivering the desired outcomes.
