Pricing: the guides and tools on this site are free

Reviewed by the Commercial Solar Finance editorial team (we take no installer or lender commissions). Last reviewed: 14 October 2026.

Commercial Solar Finance is an editorial site. The guides, calculators and the finance route checker are free to use, and sending an enquiry costs nothing. This page replaces an earlier fee schedule for advisory engagements that the site does not publish.

What is free

Every guide, the capital allowances and finance route pages, both calculators and the finance route checker.

How the site is funded

We take no commission from lenders, installers or developers, and we do not accept payment to rank or recommend a provider.

What you pay

Nothing. Reading the guides, running the finance calculator or the payback calculator, and using the finance route checker are free. If you send an enquiry we reply by email.

What we do not do

  • We do not take commission from lenders, installers or developers, and we do not accept payment to rank or recommend a provider.
  • We do not pass your details to installers or lenders without your permission.
  • We do not publish a price list for advisory engagements. If that changes, this page will say what is offered, by whom, and on what terms.

Where to start

If you are comparing routes, the finance route checker gives a ranked shortlist in six questions, and the six routes compared page sets out the trade-offs. For the tax side, see capital allowances on solar panels.
