Tailored funding solutions to achieve your greener future
As your funding partner, we are dedicated to providing funding solutions that empower you.
Solar
- Installing solar panels can lead to substantial long-term cost savings on electricity bills, as they generate free and abundant energy from sunlight.
- Solar energy provides a degree of energy independence, allowing businesses and even entire regions to generate their power, reducing reliance on external energy grids.
- Solar energy is a renewable and virtually limitless resource making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly power solution.
- Solar power systems generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases or air pollutants, contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions and combatting climate change.
Battery
- Solar battery storage enables businesses to store excess energy generated during sunny periods. This stored energy offers a reliable and independent power source during non-sunlight times, reducing dependence on the grid.
- Engaging in FCAS trading with solar battery storage can be strategically released to the grid during peak demand, helping balance supply and demand and enhancing overall grid reliability.
- Participating in FCAS trading provides financial incentives as battery owners can earn revenue by providing grid stabilisation services.
- By efficiently storing and trading energy through solar battery systems, there is a reduction in the need for additional fossil fuel-based power plants to meet peak demand.
Wind
- Localised wind power harnesses a clean and renewable energy source, utilising the kinetic energy of the wind to generate electricity without depleting finite resources.
- Implementing wind power locally enhances community resilience by providing a reliable and decentralised power source, reducing vulnerability to disruptions in centralised energy supply systems.
- Once installed, wind turbines have relatively low operating costs compared to traditional power plants and battery storage, leading to cost savings over the long term.
EV Fleets
- EVs generally have lower operating costs than traditional vehicles. With fewer moving parts, maintenance expenses are reduced, and electricity for charging is often more cost-effective than traditional fuels.
- The Federal and State governments offer incentives and subsidies for businesses transitioning to electric fleets, such as tax credits, grants, and preferential access to certain areas.

EV Chargers
- Installing an EV charger can generate additional revenue either directly from clients recharging their EVs or by attracting new clients who wish to utilise the service. It can contribute to the financial viability of your building or business.
- The availability of EV chargers at your premises enhances employee and customer satisfaction.
- Installation of EV chargers aligns with broader sustainability goals, contributing to your business’ commitment to reducing carbon emissions and aligns you with positive brand positioning as environmentally responsible.
Microgrids
- Microgrids provide a localised and self-sufficient energy source, reducing dependence on the centralised grid.
- Microgrids can lead to cost savings by reducing transmission and distribution losses and providing opportunities for local energy generation.
- Microgrids can operate independently or in coordination with the main grid. During periods of peak demand, microgrids can support the main grid by providing additional power.
Sustainability Building Upgrades
- Sustainability building upgrades, such as improved insulation, energy-efficient lighting, and smart HVAC systems, enhance overall energy efficiency, resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower utility costs over time.
- Buildings with sustainability upgrades often experience increased property values.
- Sustainability upgrades contribute to a reduced environmental footprint aligning the building with green building standards and certification programs.
- Sustainable buildings are often more attractive to tenants who prioritise environmentally responsible practices. Upgrades can contribute to tenant satisfaction, retention, and can be a selling point in a competitive real estate market.
