Solar Loans for Business Use

A solar loan is a personal or green loan used to fund the purchase and installation of solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers, and related energy-efficient upgrades. It lets you spread the cost over time while starting to save on your energy bills straight away. At Ezilend, we’re passionate about helping Australians make the switch to solar — let’s get you saving money and going green!

Green loans typically cover solar panels, inverters, battery storage systems, solar hot water units and solar pool heaters, eligible electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure, and other energy-efficient upgrades. You could even combine multiple upgrades into a single loan — one repayment, multiple benefits.

Major bank green loans typically offer the lowest interest rates of 5–7% for customers with good credit and existing banking relationships, while specialist solar finance providers typically offer rates of 6–9%. Your actual rate will depend on your credit profile and which lender best suits your situation. Ezilend will find you the most competitive option available.

Solar loan amounts vary by lender, but most offer between $5,000 and $75,000 — more than enough to cover most residential and small business solar installations, batteries, and EV chargers. Whether it’s a modest starter system or a full off-grid setup, we’ll find the right loan size for you.

For many Australian households, monthly solar savings exceed monthly loan repayments — meaning solar can be cash-flow positive from day one. That’s a pretty compelling reason to make the switch! Your Ezilend broker can help you think through the numbers for your specific situation.

Yes — and it’s worth checking what’s available in your state! The federal government offers Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that reduce the upfront cost, and various states have their own solar rebate and low-interest loan programs. These can be combined with an Ezilend solar loan to reduce what you actually need to borrow. Win-win!

Green loans typically run from one to seven years, and most households find five years balances affordability and total cost well, as this roughly aligns with a solar system’s payback period. Your Ezilend broker will help you choose the term that makes the most financial sense.

The best green loans allow you to make extra repayments or pay off the loan early without incurring charges. Always check the terms before signing — and Ezilend will make sure you understand all the fine print upfront.

It can! Some lenders require installation by a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer to qualify for green loan rates. Ezilend will flag any such requirements early so you can choose your installer with confidence and don’t hit any speed bumps on the way to approval.
