The equipment need

A company that installs solar systems for businesses was looking for a financing partner for its customers.

Its projects equip factories, logistics warehouses and farms, within the budget range shown for this case.

The aim was to spread the cost of each system over time, so that payments would stay in line with the energy savings it produces.

  • Rooftop solar systems
  • Photovoltaic panels
  • Inverters

The support described in the project

Leaseworld set up a vendor leasing program that the installer presents from the quote stage.

Contracts were set at 84 months, a term related to the economic life of a solar installation.

The installer is paid when the system is commissioned, while its customer makes payments spread over the term.

The reported operational outcome

The installer's business customers equip themselves with solar without an upfront investment.

According to the project record, the payments are largely offset by lower electricity bills.

The installer has a strong sales argument to turn its proposals into signed projects.

Applying the experience to a new project

Use this case to identify the equipment, timing and ownership questions relevant to your own investment. The historical scope and term are specific to the project described. For a new U.S. project, identify the contracting business, installation state, supplier quote and preferred use period; available structures require a separate assessment.
