Funding routes built around your site
Every business has a different appetite for upfront investment. SOEV helps compare commercial funding routes so you can make an informed decision before committing to a project.
Choose ownership, cash protection, or pay-as-you-go
CAPEX
You fund the project directly and keep the full long-term benefit of the asset. Best when you have capital available and want maximum lifetime return.
Asset finance
Spread the cost of the project over time while benefiting from the savings generated. Protects working capital and can be structured to be cash-flow positive.
Power Purchase Agreement
Where suitable, a third party funds the solar installation and you buy the generated electricity at an agreed rate. No upfront cost — just cheaper energy.
Funded EV charging
For selected public or fleet charging sites, funded or revenue-share models may be available, subject to location, usage, grid capacity and commercial viability.
Grant support
Government grant support is available for eligible fleet charging scenarios — we'll flag what you may qualify for.
Energy procurement
SOEV supports commercial energy contract reviews with clear disclosure around supplier commission, consultancy fees or recurring arrangements.
Which route fits your situation?
| Route | Upfront cost | Owns the asset | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAPEX | Full | You | Maximum lifetime return, capital available |
| Asset finance | Spread | You (over term) | Protecting working capital |
| PPA | £0 | Third party | Cheaper energy, no balance-sheet impact |
| Funded EV | £0 / shared | Varies | Public sites with strong usage |
| Grant-supported | Reduced | You | Eligible fleet electrification |
Funding, grants, PPA structures and revenue-share options are subject to eligibility, site assessment and commercial viability. Actual terms depend on your covenant, site conditions, system size and funder criteria.
Finance, answered
Does SOEV provide solar finance?
Yes. We compare funding routes including CAPEX, asset finance, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), funded EV models and grant support, and match them to your balance sheet and objectives — with the numbers modelled before you commit.
Which funding route is right for my business?
It depends on whether you want to own the asset, protect cash, or simply secure cheaper energy. CAPEX maximises lifetime return; asset finance protects working capital; a PPA delivers cheaper power with no upfront cost. We model each route for your site so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
What does SOEV need to model my funding options?
A recent energy bill and basic site details. From those we model savings, project cost, payback and the funding routes that are commercially viable for your site.
