A solar panel loan is a form of unsecured personal loan that you can use to invest in a renewable power source for your home.
Solar panel loans allow you to purchase solar panels, pay for their installation, and, if the loan amount is sufficient, invest in related technologies such as home batteries.
Over the past decade, the popularity of solar panels in Australia has grown consistently. Government figures show that approximately 3.5 million rooftop solar panels were installed by businesses and homes in 2017 alone. By the end of 2018, the number of homes with rooftop panels had hit 2 million.
Solar panels can help homeowners reduce their ecological footprint, but there are more immediate benefits too: according to the Clean Energy Council, homes with rooftop solar panels save an average of $540 per year on their electricity bills.
If you’re looking for a flexible way to invest in solar panels, a personal loan with Plenti will offer you competitive rates, consistent repayments, and, best of all, an affordable way to make your home more sustainable.
A solar panel loan works just like a personal loan. That is, you borrow a specific amount of money and then pay it back with interest over an agreed term.
To qualify for a personal loan, you must submit an application and agree to a credit check that takes into account your borrowing history, employment status, credit score, and other factors.
Personal loans, including solar panel loans, allow you to enjoy a lower interest rate than you would receive with a credit card and also offer a consistent repayment schedule.
Many personal loans give you the flexibility to make early repayments, allowing you to reduce the length of your loan and minimise the amount you pay in interest.
You can use a loan to purchase a range of solar panel products. It’s important to note that not all solar panel products are eligible for a green loan (or government subsidy).
Renewable energy products must meet strict standards of efficiency and performance. To find out if a specific product is eligible, it’s best to consult your green loan provider.
Green loan providers usually work with an approved list of product suppliers, installers, and other contractors. Ordinarily, the approved contractor will carry out work on your property and then submit their invoices directly to the green loan provider.
This means that you can avoid borrowing any more than you need. Instead, you repay only the cost of the product itself plus interest. Green loans tend to have terms that are comparable to those of personal loans: for example with Plenti, you can pay your green loan back over three to seven years.
We’ll pay funds into your nominated bank account on the next business day following your loan acceptance. This gives you the flexibility to manage and pay for your green costs any way you like.
Plenti provides unsecured green loans to Australian residents. Save time before applying by making sure:
– You are aged 21 or over

To see if you may qualify for a Plenti solar panel loan, you can get a RateEstimate – it only takes 1 minute, and won’t affect your credit score. If you request a RateEstimate, we will ask you a few questions so we can calculate an initial estimate of your borrowing potential, and the rates, fees and charges that may apply to your loan.
In making a final decision, we consider a number of factors, including your credit file as provided to us by Equifax and/or Illion, our credit bureau partners. If you would like more information regarding your credit file, you should contact Equifax and Illion directly.

Low rate solar panel loans from 6.39%p.a. (comparison rate 10.02%p.a.).
Representative example: Based on $10,000 loan with a 36 month term for a borrower with an excellent credit history at a comparison rate of 6.39% p.a. the estimated total amount payable including all applicable fees is $11,611.
Plenti green loan repayment terms range from a minimum of 3 years to a maximum of 7 years. Interest rates start from 6.39% p.a. (comparison rate 10.02% p.a. to 8.55% p.a. based on your term).

^This scenario is based on a 6.6 kW solar system. Assuming typical electricity bill on an Australian household between 4-5 residents of $2,167.50 p.a, solar savings of 80% are estimated at $1,733.60 p.a or $144.49 per month ($0.20 average value of the solar generated, which could be 10c FiT and 30c usage rate). The estimated total amount payable over a 7-year period including all applicable fees is $5768.
^^After energy bill and finance repayments, this gives actual cash-flow positive of $75.83 per month.
