How do you lease solar panels?
New legislation makes financial leasing of solar panels possible
From 1 July 2025, it will be possible to establish separate ownership rights to solar PV systems. This means that companies will be able to finance their solar PV systems through financial leasing—without having to pay the full registration fee and without requiring physical valuations by an appraiser.
Previously, investments in solar PV systems on buildings automatically became part of the property’s overall collateral, making financing more complex. This meant that companies typically had to take out bank or mortgage loans, resulting in additional costs for collateral, registration and administration.
The new legislative change significantly alters this and makes leasing far more attractive. Solar PV systems can now be treated as separate property, independent of the building’s collateral, giving companies much greater flexibility in their choice of financing.
Who can use the scheme?
The legislative change applies to buildings used for commercial purposes, such as:
- Warehouses and production halls
- Office buildings
- Municipal buildings such as schools, institutions and sports halls
Residential properties and care homes are not covered.
The solar panels must be installed on the building’s roof, and the installation requires the building owner’s consent. The owner has 30 days to respond to the application. If approved, the consent must be registered as an easement that follows the property—even in the event of a change of ownership.
SolarFuture delivers all types of solar PV solutions for businesses. For all roof types or regardless of ground conditions.

What are the benefits of leasing?
With a leasing agreement, you get:
- Fixed monthly price—provides stability and easy planning
- No or low down payment—frees up capital for other investments
- Flexibility throughout the contract term & buy-out options
- Operational savings and CO₂ reduction—without high upfront costs
- Opportunity for 100% green profiling—with a visible sustainability impact
From CAPEX to OPEX—one fixed payment
With leasing, CAPEX becomes OPEX: one fixed, transparent monthly payment in the operating budget.
The result is simple planning now and free capital for strategic initiatives later.
Leasing frees up working capital and preserves credit facilities for your core business because the payment is spread over the system’s lifetime.
The fixed payment makes cash flow predictable and minimises the risk of unexpected expenses, especially when service and maintenance are included in the agreement. You choose the term and any residual value, so the total cost matches your finances and expected energy consumption.
At the same time, the balance sheet is eased compared with an outright purchase, which can strengthen key ratios and decision-making flexibility.
Tailor-made solutions for businesses
Whether you operate in agriculture, industry, or in critical sectors with energy-intensive processes and infrastructure, we put together
solutions where equipment, sizing and financing are carefully tailored to your energy needs. Our team advises you throughout the process—from needs analysis and design to installation and operation.
Financial leasing—in brief
In practice, financial leasing means that at the end of the leasing period, either the solar PV system is taken over at the agreed residual value or it is re-leased for a new period; these terms are always stated in the leasing contract entered into.
Long-term partnerships with established partners
Financial partnership
We work with a specialised financial partner in commercial leasing of energy solutions. This gives you competitive terms, a smooth credit assessment and transparent agreements.
The result is faster responses, transparent pricing and leasing agreements tailored to your operations—from term and residual value to service packages and insurance.
How much do you save by leasing solar panels?
Savings over time
With leasing, you can lease solar panels without a large upfront investment. A fixed payment is made—while SolarFuture handles design, installation, operation and service.
If a battery is added, you also gain additional security of supply against grid outages, which can be costly due to downtime.
Who should choose solar panel leasing?
Companies that want to reduce fluctuations in energy prices, strengthen their ESG profile, and at the same time maintain liquidity for growth, operations and other strategic initiatives.
No major one-off investment
Pay a fixed, predictable monthly payment as an operating expense—and preserve liquidity for growth and core activities. The solution makes budgeting simple, eases the balance sheet and frees up credit facilities for other investments. You choose the term and residual value, after which the financials are tailored precisely to your needs and consumption.
Flexibility and scaling
Scale up or replace as needed and avoid obsolescence. The system can be established as a separate unit (retention of title) with lower set-up friction. This means that the solar PV system stands as its own independent unit under the leasing agreement and is therefore not part of the building’s collateral.
Reliable operation in one package
A simple, transparent process via a specialised financing partner—option for a bundled solution including installation, service and insurance. We also offer operational monitoring and a service agreement to maintain high uptime and predictable performance.
Green business and energy savings
Reduce CO₂ and your energy bill, strengthen your ESG profile—and, where regulations allow, sell surplus power through ancillary services to the grid. The solution can be integrated into your sustainability reporting and communications, supporting both compliance and your company’s brand.
Upgrade when needs change
If the building allows it, it is usually possible to expand the solar PV system to produce more solar energy if the need for more sustainable energy arises. Refinancing will most often be possible.

Benefits of leasing
Leasing solar panels is an attractive and flexible way to access modern energy technology without a major upfront investment. Instead of buying the system, you pay for the right to use the equipment through a fixed monthly payment over an agreed period—often with no down payment or a very low one.
At SolarFuture, we offer leasing of solar PV systems that enables our customers to achieve significant financial and operational benefits—without compromising on energy optimisation and sustainability. With leasing, companies can realise savings in the operating budget from day one, while preserving liquidity.
