Finance that powers Australia's clean energy future

We help Australian businesses, schools and local councils go greener - smarter

From solar and battery storage to EV charging and energy efficiency upgrades – Ecolease makes it easy to invest in sustainable technology without the upfront costs.

Drive your business into the electric future

Electric vehicles aren’t just good for the planet — they can also lower running costs, boost your brand’s green credentials, and prepare you for a zero-emission future. With Ecolease EV Finance, you can upgrade your fleet or add your first electric vehicle without the upfront cost, choosing flexible terms that keep your cashflow strong while you go greener.

Make the sun work for your business — without the upfront costs

Commercial solar is one of the smartest investments an Australian business can make — but large upfront costs can slow you down. Ecolease Solar Finance helps you spread the cost over time, so you can enjoy lower energy bills and sustainability benefits from day one.

Turn surplus solar into serious savings

Battery storage lets you capture surplus solar power, use it when you need it most, and reduce your reliance on the grid. With Ecolease Battery Finance, you can invest in advanced storage systems without the upfront cost — keeping your business powered and your cashflow healthy.

Charge into the future-without the upfront costs

As electric vehicle adoption surges in Australia, installing EV charging stations can attract customers, support staff, and future-proof your operations. Ecolease EV Charger Finance makes it easy to add charging infrastructure without tying up capital — so you can start offering EV charging now and grow your green credentials.

Stay comfortable and cut costs with efficient climate control

Heating and cooling are often a business’s biggest energy expenses — but upgrading to energy-efficient systems can slash your power bills and improve comfort year-round. With Ecolease Finance, you can invest in high-performance HVAC solutions, heat pumps, or reverse-cycle systems without the upfront cost, all while reducing your carbon footprint.

Brighten your space, lower your bills, and lighten your footprint

Switching to energy-efficient lighting is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to cut energy use and operating costs. With Ecolease Finance, you can upgrade to modern LED and smart lighting systems without paying upfront — enjoying instant savings, better light quality, and a greener business from day one.

Bundle your clean tech the smart, cashflow friendly way

Bundling your clean technology into a rent-to-own finance plan lets you start benefiting from lower energy costs and improved sustainability straight away — without tying up capital. You pay a fixed monthly amount that covers your equipment and installation, and at the end of the term, you own the asset outright. It’s a simple, cashflow-friendly way to invest in solar, batteries, EV chargers, and other green upgrades, while enjoying the tax benefits and flexibility of rental payments.

The benefits of adoption clean tech

At Ecolease, we understand the transformative power of green finance. Our mission is not only to facilitate financing for green initiatives but also to advocate for a broader adoption of sustainable practices within the finance sector. Here’s some of the reasons you might want to consider greening your business finance and equipment solutions.

Reduced Environmental Impact

By prioritising green finance, businesses can access funding specifically tailored for environmentally friendly equipment and vehicles. This leads to a reduction in carbon emissions and overall environmental footprint.

Cost Savings

 Investing in green equipment often translates to long-term cost savings. Energy-efficient vehicles and machinery, for example, can significantly lower operational costs over their lifespan.

Compliance and Reputation

Embracing green finance demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, enhancing a company’s reputation and ensuring compliance with evolving environmental regulations.

Accessibility to Innovation

Financing green initiatives opens doors to innovative technologies and practices that may otherwise be financially out of reach. This enables businesses to stay competitive while reducing their environmental impact.

Improved Operational Efficiency

Green financing encourages the adoption of energy-efficient equipment and vehicles, leading to improved operational efficiency and productivity.

Risk Mitigation

 Investing in environmentally sustainable equipment can mitigate risks associated with environmental damage, regulatory non-compliance, and resource scarcity.

Government Incentives

We can provide guidance on accessing available government incentives and rebates available for sustainable vehicles, equipment and other assets.

Businesses

Australian businesses can generally access the following benefits when they lease or rent clean technology (e.g. solar, batteries, EVs, HVAC, LED lighting):

  1. Immediate Tax Deductions (Operating Lease / Rental)
    • Rental payments are treated as an operating expense, so the full monthly payment is usually 100% tax deductible.
    • This improves cashflow and reduces taxable income.
  2. Depreciation & Ownership (Chattel Mortgage / Hire Purchase / Rent-to-Own)
    • If structured as a rent-to-own or chattel mortgage, the business can claim depreciation on the asset (under ATO asset life rules) plus interest expenses.
    • Clean tech often qualifies for accelerated depreciation incentives, especially if linked to government programs.
  3. Instant Asset Write-Off (depending on thresholds)
    • Businesses may be able to claim an immediate deduction for eligible clean tech assets if they fall under the government’s instant asset write-off scheme (thresholds vary year to year).

Schools

Most schools in Australia (especially non-government schools) operate as not-for-profits, so the direct tax benefits are limited compared to businesses. However, they still gain advantages:

  • Budget-Friendly Rentals: Leasing allows schools to spread the cost across operating budgets rather than requiring a large capital outlay.
  • Preserve Capital Works Funds: By renting or leasing, schools can keep their capital reserves for other building projects while still upgrading to sustainable technology.
  • Grants & Rebates: Many state and federal programs offer specific funding and rebates for renewable upgrades in schools, which can be combined with finance.

In short: less about tax deductions, more about cashflow + access to funding.

Councils

Councils are also generally tax-exempt, but leasing clean tech still delivers:

 

  • Cashflow Management: Finance avoids tying up ratepayer funds in a lump sum payment.
  • Predictable Budgeting: Fixed rental/lease payments can be aligned with annual budget cycles.
  • Access to Green Loans: Some state programs offer councils low-interest or incentive-backed finance for renewable projects.
  • Community Impact: Even without tax deductions, councils benefit reputationally by demonstrating leadership in sustainability.
