Purchasing options for solar panels
Buy them outright with cash
If you have the capital available and you wish to invest you can make a generous profit with the Feed-in Tariff. You can earn up to £13,000 over 20 years with a 3kW system. That is a healthy income of £450 per year and savings of £200 on your electricity bills.
Take out a loan to cover the cost
If you don’t have the capital then the second option is to get a loan to pay for them. This method will allow for a longer term investment but will still offer significant financial reward and offer the comfort of protection from rising energy costs. The loan and cost of the system should break even around the 10 year mark, offering a further 10 years of income and savings.

Install free solar panels
This option for free solar panels is available to those people who either cannot take out a loan or don’t want to pay the high upfront costs associated with the initial purchase of the system. The maintenance costs are taken care of, but you will not receive any of the FIT payments for the 20 year period. You will however benefit from all the electricity they generate and if your home uses a reasonable amount of electricity during the day, then you will realise these benefits with up to a 50% reduction in your electricity bill.
Try the Green Deal
The Green Deal is a government run financing scheme that has been set up to help you make energy saving improvements to your home or work place. It enables you to make these energy saving improvements without having to pay for it all upfront.
Finance options for Solar Panels
There are a number of companies offering finance for solar technology in the United Kingdom. Finance, in the form of loans and leasing agreements, is available for domestic, commercial and industrial installations, in both the private and public sectors. Finance for renewable energy technologies allows customers to avoid large upfront costs and make payments out of the income from Feed-in tariffs, as well as energy bill savings.
Finance may be offered on a range of bases, each offering varying levels of financial risk and reward, as well as varying interest rates. Typically the finance company will provide the renewable energy technology and the cost of installation in return for payments spread over a period of time. Depending on the type of agreement, the client may either come to own the technology at the end of the period, it may be sold by the company with the proceeds being split between client and company, or the company could retain it.
The arrangements offered by finance companies will vary, however, and each company will offer different advice. It is therefore advisable to obtain quotes and agreement terms from a range of companies, based on clients' energy needs and financial situation. Caution should also be taken when calculating one's ability to make repayments, as the returns offered by some renewable technologies depend in large part on the weather.
In some cases installation companies also offer finance solutions. Some companies also offer the free solar or rent-a-roof schemes discussed here, whereby a company will pay for the installation of a solar PV system on the roof of a home or business. The company will usually receive the Feed-in Tariff income, while the property owner will benefit from reduced energy bills and carbon emissions.
