Terms of use
These terms govern your use of the Commercial Solar Finance website and any preliminary correspondence with us.
Last updated: 4 May 2026.
1. Use of this website
The content on this site is provided for information only. It is general commentary on UK commercial solar finance structures, tax incentives, and regional funding routes — not personalised financial, tax, accounting, or legal advice. Worked examples are illustrative and based on representative numbers; actual figures will depend on your specific circumstances, supplier pricing, and the rates and reliefs in force at the time.
2. No advice
No advisory relationship is created by you reading this site, using the finance route checker or submitting an enquiry. Where you act on the website content alone, you do so at your own risk and we accept no liability for the outcome.
3. Tax content
References on this site to the 50% First Year Allowance, the Annual Investment Allowance, the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, the Smart Export Guarantee, and any other tax or grant scheme are based on the rules in force on the last-updated date of the relevant page. Tax rules change. Always confirm the current position with your accountant or tax adviser before relying on any number on this site for an investment decision.
4. Independence
We do not accept manufacturer commissions, installer commissions, or lender introducer fees that are contingent on us recommending a specific counterparty. This site does not charge for its guides or tools, and we do not accept payment from any lender, installer or PPA provider to rank or recommend it.
5. FCA position
Most commercial solar finance falls outside the scope of FCA regulation because the borrower is a limited company rather than a consumer, and most relevant credit and lease products are exempt under the regulated activity rules. Where any product or activity is regulated, we say so explicitly. Nothing on this site is, or is intended to be, a financial promotion or an offer of regulated products to consumers.
6. Intellectual property
All written content, design, and code on this site are owned by Commercial Solar Finance or licensed to us. You may share excerpts with attribution and a link back. You may not republish full pages, scrape the site for AI training data, or redistribute the content commercially.
7. Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any losses arising from your use of the website content. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from your use of the site.
9. Changes
We update these terms occasionally, particularly when tax rules change. The "last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
