What’s new?
Solar Loan and Solar Loan Plus are both loans.
You own your system from the day it is installed. There’s no restriction on your property title. And you repay the loan with fixed monthly repayments over a term you choose (from 5 to 25 years).
You have the choice of:
- A £0 deposit
- Paying up to 25% upfront.
And you can overpay or repay early at any time. An early settlement fee of up to 1% of the amount repaid may apply.
Checking your eligibility won’t affect your credit score. Most decisions are instant, and you have a 14-day cooling-off period.
The difference between Solar Loan and Solar Loan Plus
Solar Loan
This covers the equipment and installation. Solar Loan Plus is the same loan with system care added:
- Generation monitoring
- Fault finding
- Repairs, including callouts, parts and labour, and a one-off replacement of your inverter or battery if it fails after warranty and can’t be repaired.
System care is 50% off for the first 2 years. After this, there’s a fixed price for your loan term, which you can cancel with one month’s notice.
Solar Loan Plus
This adds system care to the same loan. It’s £6.99 a month for the first 2 years (50% off), then £13.98 a month, locked in for your loan term.
On the same £10,000, 25-year example, your total monthly payment would be £76.64 for the first 2 years. Then it would be £83.63 and the total payable – including system care – is £24,921.
System care is not part of the credit and does not change the APR. You can cancel it at any time by giving one month’s notice; your loan repayments continue.
Which should you choose?
Which option you choose depends on you and your circumstances. Hometree Finance’s application explains both. Your finance quote also shows the figures for your own system before you apply.
Who can apply
Available to homeowners installing solar, or solar and battery, systems in England and Wales.
Not currently available to landlords. Credit and affordability checks apply, and self-employed applicants may need an extra income check.
Maximum order value £15,000 for solar only, or £30,000 for solar with a battery.
