Finance SME-scale commercial battery storage from £15,000 to £250,000, for backup power and pairing with existing solar. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, commercial batterys are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £15,000 to £250,000, and most deals are written over 12–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Commercial batteries at this scale generally qualify as plant and machinery for capital allowances, so a business can typically set some or all of the cost against taxable profits through the Annual Investment Allowance or other first-year reliefs, depending on total qualifying spend for the year. Confirm current treatment with your accountant before finalising the finance structure.
The typical buyer here is a smaller business, often a retailer, hospitality site, workshop or office, that already has or is adding a modest rooftop solar array and wants to use more of its own generation rather than exporting it cheaply, or that simply wants short-duration backup power for a few critical circuits during outages. Systems in this range are usually installed alongside an existing electrical supply without major grid works, which keeps installation timelines short compared with larger containerised systems. Sizing is normally driven by how much surplus solar generation there is to store or how many hours of backup a business realistically needs, and is best worked through with an installer before ordering.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
