If you don’t want to miss out on battery sales this year, read more to find out how Powow’s Power Purchase Agreement solar and battery payment option can help you unlock a steady stream of battery sales in 2025.
With 9000+ solar retailers offering the same or similar products and payment methods how can you differentiate your offering in 2025?
One of the biggest opportunities to differentiate your offering is via the payment methods you offer. However, when pretty much everyone is offering the same payment solutions it leaves little room for building packages that stand out above the rest.
What if there was a way to offer your customers a feature rich and affordable payment option that removes frictions that get in the way of closing the sale and go beyond the features and benefits offered by other solutions in the market? Well we’ve got you covered.
The Powow PPA* (for hybrid panel and battery systems) has been designed from the ground up to remove the most common customer affordability ownership experience and savings objections, while at the same time offering homeowners added value benefits that other payment options don’t offer.

Customers are increasingly requesting quotes including a battery
With electricity prices and cost of living spiralling out of control over the past few years, your customers are probably requesting quotes for hybrid solar and battery solutions to reduce their electricity bills and get more energy independence**.
With Powow’s PPA going solar is more affordable and easy. With nothing to pay up front and affordable fixed monthly payments for 10 years, plus extra customer protections built in, it’s the ideal solution for customers looking to get solar with a battery in 2025.
The Powow PPA is now available to residents in NSW, VIC, SA and QLD looking to install a solar and battery system to start saving on their energy bills.
In the table below is a comparison of the main payment options available on the Australian market. Before we explore the Powow Payment Solutions advantage – let’s take a step back and look at the main payment options available to homeowners.

Chances are you already offer one or more of these (as do the other 8,999 solar retailers in Australia) so we won’t dwell on them too much.
Unsecured personal loans can be used for any purpose and are not backed by collateral, but they may have higher interest rates and higher monthly payments. They usually have shorter repayment periods of 5-7 years which means that customers may have higher monthly repayments because they are spreading the payments over a shorter time, potentially making it a less affordable and convenient option.
Green/solar loans are specifically designed to finance environmentally-friendly projects such as paying for the installation of solar systems. They usually have lower interest rates than unsecured personal loans and are therefore offered by some solar companies as a payment option. However, often these types of loans have even stricter qualifications for borrowers, meaning the risk of getting knocked back is higher. They also do not come with any assurances of system performance or reliability.
BNPL 0% interest loans allow for immediate installation of solar systems with no upfront cost, and while the repayments may not carry interest, these types of plans often have additional fees and charges that get passed on to the customer. In addition the main BNPL solar payment solutions on the market tend to have a shorter payback period (e.g. 5/7 years) which means that monthly payments are higher than the Powow PPA which help you spread payments over 10 years. BNPL solutions don’t come with any performance guarantees meaning that you won’t be compensated if your system stops working.
Power Purchase Agreements are specifically designed for hybrid solar and battery systems and require that you have the power generating asset (panels) and storage asset (battery) installed at the same time.
The Powow PPA Difference
So what differentiates the Powow PPA from other payment methods on the market? It’s been specifically designed from the ground up to make solar affordable and handle common customer objections to batteries like “it’s too expensive” or “will it really work?”
Why choose the Powow PPA Plan for your solar and battery quotes?
- No Upfront Costs: Customers get tier-1 solar panels and a safe LFP battery installed for $0 up front.
- Fixed monthly payments: Stable, predictable billing for 10 years, and protect yourself against rising energy costs.
- 100% System Performance Money Back Guarantee: With remote system monitoring you can troubleshoot issues and if the system doesn’t produce as much power as it should, or stops working customers will be credited every day until it’s fixed.
- Access to the Powow Virtual Power Plant: Customers can join the Powow Virtual Power Plant and get paid for any excess energy that is discharged from their battery to help keep the grid stable. It’s free to join.
- 10-year manufacturer battery warranty: They’ll also get a rock solid 10-year battery & inverter warranty that is not compromised by VPP participation, and 25-year panel manufacturer warranty.
- Flexibility to Upgrade: If your customers want to expand their solar power system down the track they can easily add additional panels or batteries and the PPA plan can be updated accordingly.
- Buy out your system at any time: If at any time during the plan they want to buy out the system, they can do so for a fair price. Plus at the end of the 10-year plan the system is theirs for just an administrative fee of $1!
- Get $20 per month extra off when you join the Powow VPP^: This VPP incentive is paid in return for Powow having access to the battery so we can discharge a small amount of electricity from time to time and send it back to the grid to keep things stable and working. This Powow VPP incentive amounts to an additional $2,400 savings on the cost of the solar battery.

Like a mobile phone plan but for solar
A good way to think of this straightforward solution is to compare it to a mobile phone plan – just for power! You get a complete solar setup installed, then pay an affordable monthly fee to draw power from the system, and everything else is taken care of by Powow.
MOBILE PHONE PLAN | POWOW POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT |
You choose a handset that is owned by your mobile phone service provider and you pay it off over time as part of your plan, until you own the handset outright at the end of the term of your plan. You can choose a basic cheap handset which reduces what you pay monthly, or choose the top of the line for which you pay more. | You choose a system (panels and a battery) and size of system you want to install. Once installed the system is still owned and operated by Powow. You simply pay a fixed monthly fee over a 10-year period to use the power produced by the system. Once the 10 years are up you own the solar panel and battery system outright. |
Depending on the type of plan you choose, you will get a set amount of data (Megabytes) plus free inclusive text messages and call minutes that you can use every month. You generally pay more, or less depending on the amount of data you choose. | Once the system is installed you can start using the electricity it produces (kWh) to power your home. The key difference here is that the only limitation on how much energy you can use is how much your system is capable of producing. |
Your mobile phone service provider will usually offer optional care plans and extended warranties for the handset. You usually pay extra for these protections which increases what you pay every month. If you opt out, you will be responsible for paying off the remainder of the handset if it breaks or stops working. | With the Powow PPA you not only get a 10-year warranty, you’ll also get a 100% system performance money back guarantee included for no extra cost. It’s all covered by your fixed monthly payments. If things go wrong you are completely covered – and we will credit you for any days that the system was not operating. |
Why are fixed repayments so beneficial?
Simply put – it protects you against price increases.
The below table shows you what you could save over a 10 year period if you were to get a 6.6kW solar panel system and battery installed under the PPA for $200/month. The underlying assumptions used are that electricity costs rise 5% every year and once solar is installed on the property the electricity bill drops by 90%. For the purposes of this illustration we have used a starting price of electricity in year 1 as 40c/kWh. With these inputs you can see that over a 10 year period total savings once the cost of the PPA is included is $18,382.
