One of the biggest barriers to installing renewable technologies for homeowners and landlords isn't doubt about the technology - it's the upfront investment. While people across East Anglia recognise the long-term benefits of solar panels, heat pumps, energy storage systems, and much more, the initial costs can feel overwhelming and out of reach.
That's why we're excited to announce our newly launched finance options with Ideal4Finance, bringing flexibility to every Projects4Renewables customer. Now, all of our products and services, from solar panels and heat pumps to conservatory and flat roof conversions, are available with two financing options designed to fit different needs and budgets (always subject to lender’s assessment):
This has allowed us to transform and broaden access to renewable technologies for homeowners and landlords in East Anglia: giving you the opportunity to start benefiting from renewable energy immediately, while spreading the investment over manageable monthly repayments.
Consider a homeowner from East Anglia looking to install a 5kW solar panel system - one of our most popular installations. With current electricity bills averaging around £1,320 annually (approximately £110 per month) for a household with 4-5 people according to EDF Energy, this household is already committing to substantial monthly costs with nothing of value to show for it long-term. However, according to WarmZilla, installing a solar panel system can cut electricity bills by up to 70% for most homes.
Cost of the System: £6,690.00
Deposit: £1,672.50 (25%)
Amount to Finance: £5,017.50
*Actual costs, savings, and finance terms may vary based on individual circumstances, property type, and energy usage. Finance options subject to credit approval and Ideal4Finance terms and conditions.
Consider the same home mentioned above but this time they are instead looking to install a 5kW Panasonic Air Source Heat Pump—another one of our most popular installations.
According to EDF Energy, current gas/oil bills average around £1,304 annually (approximately £109 per month) for a household with 4-5 people. However, according to Which?, a household could save more than 50% on running costs with a heat pump compared to a gas boiler with high efficiency and on a heat pump tariff. This household has also taken advantage of the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant which has been deducted from the total system cost.
Cost of the System: £11,049.50
Boiler Upgrade Scheme Grant: £7,500
Deposit: £887.37 (25%)
Amount to Finance: £2,662.13
*Actual costs, savings and finance terms may vary based on individual circumstances, property type, and energy usage. Finance options subject to credit approval and Ideal4Finance terms and conditions.
What if the homeowner instead combined both a solar system and an air source heat pump? Combining the two systems creates an energy positive home: the solar system powers the heat pump during daylight hours virtually for free. This is the most comprehensive energy solution available - transforming your home into a clean and green energy powerhouse.
Key Benefits:
Boiler Upgrade Scheme: Up to £7,500 grant for air source heat pump installations.
Warm Homes Local Grant (Suffolk): Up to £15,000 loan with 0% APR for energy efficiency measures.
VAT Reduction: 0% VAT on solar panel and air source heat pump installations.
According to the UK government's official quarterly tracking survey published in Summer 2024, “84% of people said they supported the use of renewable energy such as wind power, solar energy, and biomass to provide electricity, fuel, and heat." However, large upfront costs remain one of the hurdles to adopting low-carbon technology. It's ironic, really - homeowners want to reduce their energy bills and environmental impact, but the very solutions that could achieve this require substantial upfront investment. This creates a frustrating "catch-22" situation where households continue paying high energy bills while waiting to save enough for renewable installations.
Our finance options eliminate this waiting game entirely, allowing homeowners to start benefiting from renewable energy immediately while offsetting the cost of the monthly loan repayments against savings on their energy bills.
As a family-run business with 30+ years of experience, we stand out as East Anglia's local renewables specialist serving Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk. We understand upfront costs can feel overwhelming, which is why we've partnered with Ideal4Finance to offer flexible finance options.
