Who is this for?
Our funding support is ideal for:
- Commercial and industrial businesses that want to cut operating costs
- Farms and agri-businesses looking to stabilise energy spend and reduce diesel use
- Guesthouses, lodges, and hospitality with high energy and reliability needs
- Warehouses, retail centres, office parks with good roof or land availability
If your business pays a meaningful electricity bill every month, funding can often turn solar into a cash-flow positive decision.
How we support your funded project
Assess
We help you and your installer or EPC to size a system that matches your load profile, roof potential, and tariff structure, so the funding case is based on realistic savings.
Structure
Together with funding partners, we explore suitable funding models, for example:
- Power purchase style structures
- Lease-to-own or rental structures
- Client funded systems using bank finance
We do not choose on your behalf, we help you understand the trade-offs.
Validate
Our technical team supports:
- Bankable designs and yield estimates
- Quality component selection
- Compliance with local standards
This gives funders confidence that the project is technically sound.
Implement and support
Your chosen funding partner manages the finance agreement, while your installer and IBC SOLAR support the technical delivery, commissioning, and long-term performance with premium products and services.
Types of funding models we commonly work with
The right structure depends on your balance sheet, risk appetite, and long-term strategy. We help you compare options in practical terms, not only in spreadsheets.
Capex with bank finance
- You own the system from day one
- Your bank or funder provides a term loan
- You benefit directly from all savings over the life of the system
Funded or lease style solutions
- Little or no upfront capital
- Fixed monthly fee for using the solar system
- Ownership may transfer at the end of the term
Energy supply style agreements
- Pay for energy consumed from the system, similar to an energy services model
- Ideal where predictability and lower risk are more important than direct ownership
The right structure depends on your balance sheet, risk appetite, and long-term strategy. We help you compare options in practical terms, not only in spreadsheets.
