New Zestec x Smart Ease partnership unlocks easier access to funded solar for solar PV installers

  • Post category:News

Leading specialist funders and developers of commercial decarbonisation technologies, Zestec Renewable Energy and Smart Ease, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the delivery of fully funded solar PV systems for UK businesses.

  • Streamlined, technology-led funding platform for commercial solar installers
  • Enables rapid deployment of scalable PPAs and asset finance
  • Empowers businesses to cut energy costs and carbon, without upfront capital

This partnership combines Zestec’s end-to-end solar development and funding expertise with Smart Ease’s proven finance expertise and technology platform, creating a faster, simpler, and more accessible route to Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and asset funding for the UK commercial sector.  

“We’re excited to partner with Smart Ease to unlock new opportunities for installers and as a result help more businesses benefit from the cost and carbon savings of solar,” said Jamie Morrison, Head of Business Development at Zestec. 

Now fully live, the partnership offers commercial solar installers a seamless, turnkey solution covering every step of the project lifecycle – from instant finance proposals and customer onboarding to technical due diligence, funding, installation and long-term system monitoring and maintenance. 

“This partnership is about enabling scale and speed said Gaige Ross, Regional Commercial Director at Smart Ease. “Our technology-led funding platform paired with Zestec’s solar expertise allows installers to deliver smarter, faster solar solutions with a truly customer-centric impact.”

With energy costs remaining a pressure point and demand for decarbonisation rising, this alliance gives UK businesses a practical, cost-effective path to long-term energy certainty, through fully funded solar, backed by trusted delivery partners.
