The new offering will allow commercial and industrial (C&I) end-customers to install solar and energy storage systems with no upfront costs, enabling them to immediately benefit from reduced energy costs and carbon emissions.
Segen Finance will be available exclusively through Segen’s extensive network of approved C&I installers across the UK and Germany initially, with planned expansion across Europe. Installers will be able to offer tailored lease quotes alongside their technical solutions, delivering a seamless experience for end customers.
“This partnership addresses one of the key barriers to clean energy adoption—initial investment costs,” said Pascale Favre, Head of Technology Lifecycle Solutions at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions. “By combining our financial expertise with Segen’s technical knowledge and distribution capabilities, we’re making sustainable energy solutions accessible to more businesses while supporting their cash flow management.”
Group Chief Financial Officer at Segen Global, Nicolas Niedhart, added: “Our installer network has been asking for integrated financing solutions that make the transition to renewable energy more affordable for their customers. Segen Finance transforms our installers into total solution providers, while allowing their customers to preserve capital for other strategic investments. This partnership represents a significant advancement in accelerating the clean energy transition.”
