Upfront and monthly price options vary depending on your system value and chosen plan term. Apply for your personal quote. Offers are subject to status and finance agreement. Monthly payments are subject to an annual increase of 2.5%. Missing payments could have severe consequences and make obtaining credit more difficult.

Solar from just £50 a month

Option 1

By paying a small percentage of your package upfront, monthly payments have never been more affordable with Hometree Finance’s Solar Plan.

How does it work?

System installation with lifetime monitoring and repairs include:

  • Installation by your trusted Utilita Home engineer.
  • Performance monitoring and inspections.
  • Unlimited system repairs.
  • No callout fees or excess for the lifetime of your plan.
  • Flexible term from 5 to 25 years.
  • Replacement protection (if any of the installed equipment breaks down within your plan term and can’t be repaired, Hometree Finance will install a replacement free of charge)

When paying for part of your package upfront, you can pay up to 25% of your system installation value (capped at £5,000). This then reduces your monthly payments for the remainder the plan.

Your upfront amount will be taken by direct debit at the same time as your first monthly payment to Hometree Finance, a few days after your new system has been installed. As an example, if you’ve chosen to pay £1,250 upfront and your monthly payment is £64, your first payment will be £1,314, with subsequent monthly payments of £64 taken on your chosen day of the month.

For lower order values, some longer terms aren’t available with £0 upfront. By choosing a larger upfront amount, you may be able to access longer plan terms of up to 25 years, which means lower monthly payments

Option 2

The Solar Plan also makes it simple to go solar, even if you can’t pay anything upfront. Affordability shouldn’t be a barrier to sustainability.

How does it work?

System installation with lifetime monitoring and repairs include:

  • Installation by your trusted Utilita Home engineer.
  • Performance monitoring and inspections.
  • Unlimited system repairs.
  • No callout fees or excess for the lifetime of your plan.

  • Replacement protection (if any of the installed equipment breaks down within your plan term and can’t be repaired, Hometree Finance will install a replacement free of charge)

Both Hometree, and us here at Utilita Home, want to make the transition to solar as affordable as possible. If you don’t have anything you can pay upfront for your brand new solar panels – don’t worry, you can still apply to pay monthly without paying a penny before your install. When you apply directly with Hometree, they’ll run you through all your options so you can make the best decision for you, and your wallet.

The Solar Loan is designed for solar and battery installations and is supported by the Warm Homes Loan Scheme, helping to reduce the cost of finance. It has a fixed interest rate and fixed monthly loan repayments, with independent validation of your energy forecasts before installation. Optional Solar Loan Plus system care is available for an additional monthly payment.

Once your loan is fully repaid, your loan repayments end. If you have Solar Loan Plus, your system care payments and service also end automatically when the loan is repaid, including if you settle early.

FAQs

We know switching to solar is a big decision, so we’ve partnered with Hometree to offer flexible financing and full support every step of the way. Here’s everything you need to know about the Hometree Finance Solar Plan:

Hometree Finance’s Solar Loan is available to homeowners installing solar and battery systems in England and Wales who want to spread the cost through monthly repayments and access the Government Warm Home Loan scheme. Finance is subject to application, status and finance agreement. Hometree does not currently offer this finance to landlords.

Choose a repayment term from 5 to 25 years. A longer term lowers your monthly repayments, while a shorter term reduces the total interest you pay. You can also make overpayments or repay your loan early, subject to your agreement.

Once you’ve received your installation quote, we’ll send you a personal link to Hometree Finance’s secure online application. It takes minutes, won’t affect your credit score and lets you explore your available finance options. Most decisions are instant, and there’s no obligation to proceed once approved.

Your equipment will be specified in your personal Utilita proposal, with a system designed around your property and energy usage. You’ll be able to review the proposed equipment, installation costs and forecast energy savings before deciding whether to proceed.

Utilita arranges your installation, with the equipment and work set out in your personal proposal.

If you choose Solar Loan Plus, Hometree Finance provides ongoing system care through its approved partner network. This includes generation monitoring, covered repairs and help with eligible warranty claims. System care covers equipment faults, not routine upkeep, cleaning or damage covered by home insurance.

The Solar Loan is designed for solar and battery installations and is supported by the Warm Homes Loan Scheme, helping to reduce the cost of finance. It has a fixed interest rate and fixed monthly loan repayments, with independent validation of your energy forecasts before installation. Optional Solar Loan Plus system care is available for an additional monthly payment.

Manufacturer warranties usually cover faulty parts, but you may still need to arrange and pay for callouts, labour and access.

Solar Loan Plus adds generation monitoring, fault troubleshooting, covered repairs and support with eligible warranty claims. Covered repairs include callouts, parts, labour and access. If your inverter or battery fails after its warranty ends and cannot be repaired, Hometree will replace one of each under your system care agreement.

There’s no obligation to proceed after your finance application is approved. Hometree also provides a 14-day cooling-off period; check your finance agreement for the terms and how to withdraw.

If you’ve added Solar Loan Plus, you can cancel system care at any time by giving one month’s notice. Cancelling care does not cancel your loan, and your loan repayments will continue.

Once your loan is fully repaid, your loan repayments end. If you have Solar Loan Plus, your system care payments and service also end automatically when the loan is repaid, including if you settle early.

Contact Hometree Finance before moving to discuss your loan and, if applicable, your system care. They can explain the options available under your agreement and provide an early settlement figure if you’re considering repaying the loan.

You can repay your loan early, although an early settlement fee of up to 1% of the amount repaid may apply. Any Solar Loan Plus system care ends automatically when the loan is fully repaid.
