Segen and BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions Launch Solar Financing Partnership to Accelerate Clean Energy Transition

Company News

New partnership to deliver point-of-sale equipment financing for solar and storage solutions across UK and Germany, with plans for wider European rollout.

Segen, a leading global renewable energy equipment distributor, today announces a strategic partnership with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions to provide tailored end-to-end financing solutions under the Segen Finance brand.

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,”

says 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.”

Nicolas Niedhart, Group Chief Financial Officer at Segen Global, comments:

“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.”

Key Benefits for Installers:

· Complete solution provider: Installers can now offer financing as part of their installation quote, becoming a one-stop shop for solar and storage solutions.

· Improved cash flow: Access to Segen hardware at zero cost, enabling installers to free up working capital and scale their businesses more effectively.

Key Benefits for end customers:

· Cash-efficient solution: The entire installed system is wrapped in a single lease agreement with fixed, predictable payments for maximum convenience.

· Capital preservation: Cash reserves can be directed toward other strategic business initiatives.

· Full ownership: Customers gain complete ownership of the solar solution upon completion of the payment schedule.

· Spread capex over equipment life.

· Premium components: All system components will be sourced exclusively from Segen, providing customers with access to audited supply chains, authenticity certifications, and market-leading warranty coverage.
