Proprietary Backing

One unique aspect of the EnFin service is that the platform is backed by the solar manufacturing company Q Cells. Q Cells is a tier-1 solar manufacturer, most notably known for its high-quality solar panels. This partnership makes EnFin the first solar financing institution fully backed by a manufacturer, but not solely restricted to financing Q Cell equipment or projects.

Platform Benefits

When homeowners go through EnFin, there are a number of provider benefits that come as a result. These platform features are not always available, especially through competing solar loan companies. Platform benefits include:

• High approval rates that take more than the credit score into consideration
• Affordable terms that include reduced fees and fast funding so installation can begin
• Streamlined process where it is easy for solar clients to get approved almost instantly
• Experienced team allowing for faster installs

Streamlined Process

A common complaint of those that have to obtain solar financing prior to having a system installed is how long the process takes. EnFin has instituted a quality program with technological backing to make it quick and easy. Prospective clients will all undergo the same process:

• Prequalify — complete a basic intake application to view qualified packages
• Apply — the project contractor will send the application where clients will provide personal financial information
• Credit decision — a decision is given instantly so all parties can move forward with the funding process
• Contract and fund — Sign the contract and have funds disbursed directly to the contractor
• Pay — clients can quickly connect bank information for automatic payment and a discount

Financed Equipment

Even though EnFin is backed by Q Cells, the financing platform is not solely restricted to financing projects that are having Q Cell equipment installed. It is true that EnFin can get homeowners the best rates when utilizing Q Cell solar equipment, but it is not required to obtain financing.

Traditionally within the solar industry, companies that partner with tier-1 solar manufacturers are restricted or limited to offering that equipment only. That is not the case for the EnFin platform. This allows for equipment flexibility and customization that prospective solar clients should appreciate. 

• Solar Financing Only
• Client Base
• Undisclosed Interest Rates

Solar Financing Only

Customers who need additional financing resources will appreciaate EnFin's services. However, it is important to note that the company neither manufactures nor installs solar systems. 

Client Base

While many associate solar with residential properties, there are solar solutions for commercial properties and agricultural entities. These commercial and agricultural projects are often larger in scale compared to residential projects, which also means it will be more expensive to have solar installed.

Unfortunately, EnFin is strictly designed for residential solar projects. Those in need of solar financing for a commercial or agricultural project will have to find another financing partner or lender to complete the project. 

Undisclosed Interest Rates

A key selling point of the EnFin platform for homeowners specifically is that there are competitive interest rates available through the service. However, no interest rates or averages are publicly disclosed by EnFin.

Other solar financing providers will offer this information, or at least what interest rates are commonly offered to clients. This makes it difficult to determine the affordability of loans obtained through EnFin.
