OpenSolar and LoanOptions.ai’s new tech partnership brings instant solar financing to homes across Australia
OpenSolar, the world’s leading solar design and proposal software, has partnered with Australia’s leading and award-winning loan matching technology provider, LoanOptions.ai, to make home energy upgrades simpler and more accessible for homeowners.
The partnership enables the thousands of solar businesses across the country which use OpenSolar to manage customer relationships and workflow to seamlessly offer financing to their customers.
Now, through a new ‘Financing Available’ widget embedded in OpenSolar proposals, customers can click through to LoanOptions.ai’s five-minute loan application, giving them instant access to competitive finance options from over 90+ lenders with no impact to their credit score. Until now, financing for solar installation has traditionally been handled separately from the design and proposal stage, limiting customer choice and making the process more complex.
With LoanOptions.ai’s direct-to-consumer model, customers get more transparent and competitive financing, while solar businesses provide additional choice, longer loan term offers as well as the ability for their clients to access increased loan amounts to help fund other home improvements simultaneously or consolidate other household debts to further improve the household budget.
“LoanOptions.ai was built to be adaptable across industries,” said LoanOptions.ai Founder and CEO Julian Fayad.
“Our new partnership with OpenSolar is a great example of how seamlessly our technology can be embedded across any industry to help businesses offer smarter, more accessible solutions to their customers. By integrating financing directly into the platforms businesses already use, we’re helping them offer more value to customers while removing traditional barriers to affordability.”
For solar businesses, offering finance options used to mean absorbing hefty dealer fees, increasing costs for both them and their customers—not to mention the time spent managing financing logistics. OpenSolar’s partnership with LoanOptions.ai flips this model, allowing businesses to offer financing without additional costs, saving valuable time and providing better rates for consumers to further drive down the costs of accessing green energy upgrades.
“Solar installers are at the forefront of Australia’s transition to clean energy, and partnerships like this make it easier for them to provide exceptional service to their customers,” said OpenSolar General Manager of Australia and New Zealand, Sophie Wright.
“LoanOptions.ai’s technology is a game-changer, not just for solar, but for any industry where financing is key to delivering the best customer experience.”
With Australia’s cost-of-living pressures rising, this partnership ensures more homeowners can afford to go solar without upfront costs, while businesses get a hassle-free financing solution that removes a common sales barrier.
