Funding

Together with our funding partners we are determined to disrupt the solar PV financing models that currently exist in the marketplace and we are confident we have done just that.

The flexibility and range of options that can be tailor made for your own unique requirements are endless.

Whether parity from month one or a lower starting tariff is required, we pride ourselves on being able to offer bespoke solutions that are industry firsts.

Early settlement is available, and the initially selected model can be continuously changed or adapted to suit your future needs and business dynamics at any point in time. These include rent to own, power purchase agreements, roof rental and additional hybrid finance models.

Both on and off-balance sheet options are available.

A billion-dollar balance sheet, with 120-year-old parent company.

Renewable energy solutions on a zero risk and zero cost basis. Off balance sheet financing, while enjoying the same economic benefits of ownership.

A strong African footprint.

Level 1 BBBEE in South Africa, with BEE procurement benefits for clients purchasing their electricity through our funded solutions.

Operation and maintenance, site monitoring and solar plant insurance is included for the full duration of the agreement across all funded options.

Repower Africa guarantees the yield of the solar plant up to 90% of the Helioscope Design. If the plant does not produce the projected yield or power in any given year, the client will be refunded the difference between actual and projected, up to 90%.

The annual increase is fixed between 0% and 7% for the complete term – there are no escalations.

Rent to Own / Lease Key Benefits:
(on balance sheet – any % deposit)

Shorter payment terms – typically 5 to 8 years with zero or small deposit required. Longer 10 year terms may also be available.
Cash flow neutral from month one.
Installment certainty allows for clear budgeting and yearly expense forecasting.
The installment can be fixed or linked to the prime lending rate – typically always less than the electricity annual increase.
100% depreciation in year 1 or staggered over 5 years, an effective tax benefit of 28% in South Africa.

Power Purchase Agreement Key Benefits:
(off balance sheet – any % deposit)

Typically, a lower starting tariff of between 10% and 20% from month one due to longer loan term. This is site dependent and based on the current utility blended tariff and expected solar yield.
No power produced by the solar plant = no payment by the client. A zero-risk solution.

Roof Rental Key Benefits:

A guaranteed amount per month for the leasing of your roof space - independent of how much solar power is generated. Provides building owners with a yield enhancement of their property, turning previously unused roof area into an income generating asset.
