Solar Asset Refinancing
Turn Your Solar Investment Into Working Capital
You've already invested in solar. SOLINK independently assesses your existing PV system and runs a competitive tender across qualified funders — so you can sell the asset, free up capital and keep buying power below the grid rate under a PPA.
Why it matters
Your solar system is a fundable asset
Most South African C&I businesses that installed solar between 2019 and 2023 paid cash. That capital is now sitting on your roof generating savings — but it's no longer working for the rest of the business. Specialist funders have strong appetite to acquire performing solar assets, and SOLINK runs the competitive process that turns that appetite into a clean exit and immediate liquidity for you.
How it works
A simple 4-step process
Free System Assessment
We evaluate your existing installation at no charge — system size, age, performance data, structural condition, metering and consumption profile — to package it for funder review.
Market Tender
SOLINK takes your system to multiple specialist funders and IPPs across our network, evaluates their offers and benchmarks pricing — so you see what the market will actually pay.
Funder Buys Your System
The selected funder acquires the asset and takes over all operations and maintenance. You exit ownership cleanly and receive immediate capital to redeploy into your core business.
Keep the Benefits
You continue consuming the same clean power under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the new owner — at a tariff below your grid rate, with no operational burden.
Why SOLINK
Independent, at no cost to you
Independent Advice
SOLINK has no affiliation with any funder or IPP. We sit on your side of the table, evaluating every offer on the same merits.
Best Market Terms
We create real competition among qualified funders — driving sale price up and PPA rate down. You see the full range of what your asset is worth.
Immediate Capital
Unlock the equity tied up in your solar asset and redeploy it into inventory, expansion, debt reduction or other higher-yield uses.
Is your system a fit?
What makes a strong refinancing candidate
Funder appetite is strongest for well-documented, professionally installed systems with a clear consumption story behind them. If most of the below applies to you, it's worth a free assessment.
- Owned outright (no existing finance or lease over the asset)
- Commissioned between 2019 and 2023
- Commercial or industrial site with a stable consumption profile
- Generation data and monitoring records available
- System in good operational condition, professionally installed
Independence matters
Why an independent tender protects your value
A single approach from one funder almost never reflects the true market price for your asset — or the best PPA rate you could be paying. SOLINK has no commercial relationship with any funder or IPP, and earns no kickback for placing your asset with one party over another. The recommendation you receive is based purely on what's best for your business.
