Make solar more affordable for your business
Solar is one of the smartest long-term investments a business can make — and there’s more support available than many realise.
At LMF Energy Services, we help businesses of all sizes access grants, tax relief, and funding options to make solar more affordable. Whether you want to buy a system outright, explore financing, or benefit from zero-capital options like a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), we’ll help you choose the right path.

Full Expensing

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my business benefit from solar panels?
Definitely. Solar cuts electricity costs, improves sustainability credentials, and protects against rising energy prices.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We support SMEs, large enterprises, industrial sites, farms, and public buildings — if you’ve got roof or land space, we can help.
Is financing available for commercial solar?
Yes. We offer flexible finance options including PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) to help you install solar with little to no upfront cost.
How much can I save?
Savings depend on your usage and system size, but many businesses cut energy bills by 30–70% with solar.
Will solar interrupt my business operations?
No — we plan installations to minimise disruption, and most businesses can stay fully operational during the process.
Can I sell extra electricity back to the grid?
Yes. You can export surplus energy through a smart export guarantee, creating a new income stream.
