Best for
Businesses prioritising operating-expense treatment and low upfront capital.
| Typical term | 5-10 years |
|---|---|
| Capital outlay | Zero to minimal upfront |
| Monthly effect | Lease payment plus residual grid electricity cost |
| Tax treatment | Lease payments are generally deductible as operating expenses |
| Trade-off | You pay for access to the system rather than owning it from day one, with ownership after the period. |
