Clean-tech Finance — Ecolease
Clean-tech finance

Clean-tech that earns its keep. We’ll sort the finance.

Solar, batteries, EV charging, efficiency upgrades, the gear that lowers what a business spends to run. We finance it the same straightforward way as any other equipment, with no green premium on the paperwork. Tell us what you’re buying and you’ll have an indicative figure in minutes; the final rate comes after we look at the deal.

Indicative only: your figure depends on the system, the term, and a quick credit check. You’ll see it the moment you tell the Assistant what you’re buying. Nothing’s locked until you accept.

What you can finance

If it cuts what you spend to run, we can finance it.

The equipment that lowers a business’s energy, fuel and running costs, financed like any other asset, new or used. And right now the green choice can start paying off at the finance, not only the power bill, with some lenders pricing renewable gear more keenly than standard equipment.

Solar & inverters

Rooftop arrays, commercial systems, inverters.

Battery storage

Behind-the-meter batteries, backup systems.

EV charging

Chargers, depot and fleet charging infrastructure.

Electric & hybrid vehicles

EV utes, vans and trucks for business use.

Efficiency upgrades

LED, HVAC, heat pumps, building management.

Refrigeration & process

Efficient coolrooms, motors, compressors.

Water & waste

Pumps, treatment, recycling and recovery gear.

Three ways to structure it

Same system, different ways to pay for it.

Which one suits you comes down to cash flow, tax, and whether owning the asset outright matters. Here’s the plain version. Your team member will help you land on the right one.

Most common

Rent-to-Own

A rental that ends in ownership

A fixed monthly rental for a set term, then the system is yours for one final payment, about the size of a regular month. No deposit, so your working capital stays put. GST applies to the rentals, and the rental is usually a deductible business expense. The final payment is known from day one, no balloon surprise at the end.

Chattel Mortgage

An equipment loan: you own it from day one

You own the system from the start, with security held against it until it’s paid off. Put money down, or leave a larger final payment (a “balloon”) to lower the monthlies, both optional. GST on the purchase is usually claimable up front rather than spread across payments. Often the pick when owning the asset outright from the start matters.

Lease

Use it now, decide at the end

A straight lease for a set term, with choices when it finishes: hand it back, extend, or buy it at an agreed figure. Useful for gear you may want to refresh as the technology moves on. Less common than the other two, but there when it fits.

There may be tax incentives for energy-efficient assets, and they change over time. Your accountant can tell you what currently applies. Ecolease arranges finance; we’re not a tax adviser.

How it works

From “I need this” to “it’s installed and running.”

01

Tell us what you’re buying

By chat, by form, or by phone. The system, a rough price from your installer, a bit about the business. That’s enough to get started.

02

Get an indicative figure, in minutes

A real number to plan around. “Indicative” means exactly that: it’s not an approval yet, and we’ll always say so. No fast number ever gets dressed up as a done deal.

03

We match it to the right finance

We find the structure and the finance that fit your deal, not whatever one balance sheet happens to offer that week.

04

Quick application and ID

The detail needed to assess the deal. Haven’t got your licence or Medicare card on you? Pick it up later. We’ll hold your place rather than make you start again.

05

Approved, signed, settled

Approval comes from the credit check; once it’s through, most deals settle within a day or two. Funds go to your installer or supplier, and the system goes in.

No fine-print games

What we’ll always be straight about.

Trust is the whole job. These are the things we say plainly, every time, not buried in a footer.

No “green” premium

Clean-tech is financed on the same terms as any other equipment. We don’t charge more because the asset happens to be good for the planet.

We won’t oversell the savings

Solar and efficiency gear can lower running costs, but by how much depends on your site and usage. We’ll finance the system; your installer and accountant model the real payback. We won’t invent a number.

Indicative isn’t approved

Every early figure carries that line. The final rate comes after a credit check. We won’t pretend a quote is a yes.

We arrange; the lender lends

Your relationship is with Ecolease; your contract is ultimately with the lender. You’ll always know which is which.

A “no” isn’t the end

If the first answer comes back no, we tell you why and what would change it, and often there’s another way through.

Money only moves at settlement

No deposit to Ecolease, no holding fees. Funds go to your installer at settlement, never to us for the system itself.
