Our Mission

Banks and lenders are competing hard to offer cheap finance for home energy upgrades like solar and battery systems. We're talking rates well below a standard personal loan. The problem is, most homeowners don't know these products exist, or how much the rates vary depending on where you look.

That's where we come in. 28Watt is Australia's specialist green finance broker. We make it simple to access the lowest rate available across a panel of over 60 lenders. So instead of taking whatever finance your installer offers or going straight to your bank, you get the best deal on the market and maximise the savings from your upgrade.

    Analyse and compare

    From there, we do the work. We analyse your quote and compare rates across our panel of 60+ lenders to find you the lowest rate and repayments available. We're not tied to any single lender, so the recommendation is always based on what's cheapest for you.

  • Clipboard with checklist and gear

    Start your application

    Once we've found the best option, we handle the application from start to finish. Think of it as a concierge service. We manage the paperwork, keep things moving, and make sure you have the best possible chance of a quick approval. You get the upgrade funded without the hassle.

Who we serve

We help homeowners right across Australia. You might have found us through a finance option in your installer's quote, or you've come straight to our website. Either way, we're ready to help!

It doesn't matter what type of upgrade you're doing. Solar, batteries, heat pumps, insulation, double glazing, an EV, or a full retrofit. If there's a quote for an energy efficiency upgrade, we can find you the best finance for it.

Accessing your rate and repayments is free, and will not impact your credit score

We understand that the up-front costs involved with purchasing energy-efficient upgrades are a hurdle for most, so we also provide tailored financial solutions to help you maximise your savings and boost your cash flow.

We earn a small commission from the bank only if you go ahead with the loan but don't worry, you still access the same interest rate as if you'd gone directly to the bank. We always make sure you have the best chance of approval as we know the bank's criteria inside and out.

Our team

Based in Sydney, we're passionate about the climate but recognise that most homes face significant barriers when it comes to adopting money-saving technologies like solar and batteries. We work with our dedicated installer network to ensure that no one gets left behind, regardless of budget.

In our spare time we love hiking, spending time at the beach and an occasional pub visit.
