Make the switch to solar without a large upfront cost. Leeds Solar offers flexible finance options including 0% interest plans, so you can start saving from day one.
The upfront cost of a solar PV system is the most common reason Yorkshire homeowners delay going solar — even when they know it's the right financial and environmental decision. Leeds Solar works with specialist green energy finance providers to offer payment plans that make solar accessible to virtually every household budget.
The key insight that makes solar finance work so well is that your monthly bill savings often exceed — or come close to matching — your monthly finance payment. This means many of our customers are cash-flow neutral from day one, and cash-flow positive once the finance term ends and they own the system outright.
For example, a 6kWp system saving £1,200 per year (£100/month) on a 5-year finance plan at 0% interest on a £7,500 system costs £125/month — so you're paying just £25/month more than you're saving in electricity, and in 5 years you own an asset generating over £1,200 per year of value for free.
We'll model the exact figures for your home during your free quote consultation, showing you precisely how finance payments compare to projected savings for different plan lengths and interest rates.
Pay for your solar system in full and enjoy the maximum financial return from day one. No interest, no monthly commitments — just free electricity for 25+ years.
Spread the cost of your solar system over 12–36 months at 0% interest. You own the system from day one and savings offset your monthly payments.
Spread the cost over 5–10 years at a low fixed interest rate. Lower monthly payments than 0% options — ideal for larger systems or tighter monthly budgets.

Whilst the Green Homes Grant has now closed, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme remains open for heat pump installations. We stay up to date with all available government incentives and will advise you on any grants or schemes that apply to your project during your consultation.
Finance is available to most homeowners with a good credit history. The minimum requirements vary by lender — generally a good credit score, being a homeowner, and being in employment or receiving a regular pension income. We work with multiple lenders to find the best match for your circumstances. A credit check will be carried out as part of the application.
Yes — most of our finance products allow early repayment without penalty. If your financial circumstances change and you'd like to clear the balance early, you can do so and the system continues to generate free electricity for the remaining years of its life.
Yes. Unlike some solar rental or lease schemes (which are now rare in the UK), our finance products are straightforward loans — you own the system from the moment it's installed. This means you receive all the Smart Export Guarantee payments, all the bill savings, and any uplift in property value.
Yes — we can finance battery storage as a standalone addition to an existing solar system, or include it in the finance package for a new installation. Battery retrofit finance starts from around £70/month for a 10kWh system on a 60-month term.
