Z4E Finance Options

There are multiple ways to avail the benefits of solar and/or battery solutions by reducing your electricity costs and moving towards sustainability. Our flexible pay-as-you-go, lease, chattel mortgage and PPA solar finance plans enable customers and businesses to enjoy the benefits of owning solar while not having the hassle to pay it all upfront, maximizing long term savings, positive cashflow and ensuring a peace of mind. Our finance partners are well known in the Australian retail and solar industry with their after pay and financial services.

Capital Purchase Pay As You Go Lease/Chattel Mortgage PPA

Payment plans and interest-free finance can affect the total system price, and approval is subject to the provider's criteria. You'll receive full pricing, terms and any fees in writing before you commit to anything, and every estimate we give states the assumptions behind it.

Capital/Upfront Purchase

Capital/Upfront Purchase

The traditional and still most common way to purchase a sustainable energy solution is to buy in cash upfront. This is ideal for businesses and customers who have the cash available to invest in solar & battery solutions. Major benefits for a upfront capital purchase are:

  • Buy Immediately
  • Enjoy Savings Immediately
  • Highest return on investment
  • Own system from day one

Lease/Chattel Mortgage

Lease/Chattel Mortgage

A capital lease or chattel mortgage is ideal for commercial and industrial customers installing solar and/or battery solution at their business while eliminating the upfront capital expenditure required. This is done through a payment plan through our finance providers, from which customers benefit through:

  • Payments terms ranging up to 10 years
  • Energy cost savings from day one

Power Purchase Agreement

Power Purchase Agreement

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long term electricity supply agreement that also enables commercial & industrial customers to install a solar/battery solution at their premises without the upfront capital expenditure. However, as the name suggests the customer purchases the power generated by the system at an agreed purchase rate per unit of electricity(c/kWh) generated. This rate is significantly lower than what you would be paying to your grid-sourced electricity providers. Major customers benefit through a PPA are:

  • Payments terms ranging 7 -30 years
  • Big long term savings
  • No capital outlay
  • No headaches: Operation, Maintenance, Insurance inclusive
  • Ideal for positive cash flow throughout the term
  • Possible revenue stream for landlords

Common questions

Do you provide finance?

Solar PV systems at times are costly and require upfront investments which can become the leading factor why many are not able to avail it. Therefore Z4E has partnered with financing and pay-as-you-go providers to enable anyone to start reaping in the benefits without the hassle of arranging finance. 0% interest finance options with 6 - 60 month terms are also available. We also have green loans, lease and PPA options. Read the full article: How to read a solar quote (and what should worry you) →

What is your payment process?

Our process is simple: a deposit is paid to secure your system and begin approvals (such as grid applications), then a major payment due once we are ready to install your system and then a remaining balance typically due after installation is completed. We also offer flexible finance options, including interest-free plans. Read the full article: How to read a solar quote (and what should worry you) →

NSW Government interest-free loan - up to $15,000 over 10 years

Eligible NSW households can now finance a solar and battery system through a government-backed interest-free loan of up to $15,000, repaid over up to 10 years - no interest, no establishment fee, repayments only on the amount borrowed. We arrange it as part of your quote. Conditions and eligibility criteria apply.

What you repay

The principal only. On the full $15,000 over 10 years that is roughly $125 a month - for many households, less than the electricity bill the system replaces. No interest is charged at any point.

How it stacks

The loan applies to the price after your STC discount and federal battery rebate are taken off - so you are financing what remains, not the sticker price. All three can apply to one system.

Eligibility

Conditions apply, including household and property criteria set by the program. We check your eligibility at quote time and tell you plainly whether you qualify - and if a standard finance product would serve you better, we say so.

Straight talk on finance: we are not a credit provider and do not give credit advice. The loan is provided under the NSW Government program and its terms; we arrange the application and design the system it funds. Program terms can change - the figures on your quote are the ones that apply.
