Ever heard of a green loan and wondered what the fuss is about? Let’s break it down.
A green loan is simply a loan designed for eco-friendly upgrades to your home. Think solar panels, battery storage, insulation, or anything that makes your place more energy-efficient. The best part? Many banks offer lower interest rates on green loans because they know these upgrades save money (and the planet) in the long run.
So how can it actually help you?
- Cover the upfront costs – Solar and energy upgrades don’t come cheap, but a green loan spreads the cost out so it’s manageable.
- Save money over time – Solar panels and efficiency upgrades can seriously shrink your power bill.
- Boost your home’s value – Buyers love lower running costs and eco-friendly features.
- Align your finance with your values – You get to invest in a more sustainable lifestyle without blowing the budget.
Some lenders even let you top up your mortgage or bundle the costs into a renovation loan, so you’re not juggling multiple repayments.
