The equipment need
A solar panel installer was looking for a financing partner to support its business customers.
Its customers wanted to own the installation at the end of the financing, which ruled out a pure rental lease.
The installer needed a quick answer on each application so as not to push back its installation schedules.
- Solar panels
- Inverters and optimizers
- Mounting structures
- Protection and monitoring enclosures
The support described in the project
Leaseworld chose an equipment lease with a purchase option, which lets the customer exercise the option and keep the equipment at the end of the contract.
Applications were set at 84 months to align the lease payment with the energy savings generated by the system.
Leaseworld formalized a streamlined review process, providing an answer in principle within 48 hours on standard applications.
The reported operational outcome
The installer now has a financing offer to present from the first sales meeting.
Customers finance their system with no down payment and own it at the end of the contract.
The shorter review time eliminated job delays caused by waiting for a credit decision.
