Solar finance by sector
The funding decision looks different depending on what your business does. These guides map the routes and the grants that fit each sector.
Quick answer: every sector can use the same finance routes (buying outright, a loan, hire purchase, a lease or a PPA) and, if the business owns the system, the same tax reliefs. What changes by sector is the size of the roof, how much electricity the site uses in daylight hours and which sector grants are open at the time. Pick your sector below for the routes and grants that fit, or answer four questions in the funding finder.
