Finance Questions Answered

What APR do you offer on solar finance?

We offer 10.9% APR representative through Phoenix Financial Consultants. This is a fixed rate for the full term — your monthly payment will never change. A small number of customers with excellent credit profiles may qualify for lower rates.

How long can I spread the cost?

Finance terms range from 2 years (24 months) to 15 years (180 months). Longer terms reduce your monthly payment but increase the total interest. Most customers choose 7–10 years, where monthly savings often exceed the finance payment.

Can I make overpayments or pay off early?

Yes. Our finance is provided through Phoenix Financial, and early repayment is permitted. There may be a small early settlement fee — Phoenix will confirm this when you apply.

Is there a minimum or maximum loan amount?

The minimum loan amount is £3,000 and the maximum is £25,000. This covers systems from a small 4-panel top-up installation to a large 20-panel commercial system with battery storage.

Will finance affect my credit score?

A credit check is required as part of the application, which will leave a soft footprint initially. A full search (which appears on your credit file) is only conducted once you proceed to application.

Do I need to own my home to get solar finance?

You need to be the homeowner (or have the landlord's written permission) to install solar panels. Finance is available to homeowners who pass Phoenix Financial's credit assessment.
