Battery Storage Financing

Finance battery energy storage systems with terms built around the warranted degradation curve and the revenue the system is contracted to earn. Representative example: a $900,000 storage system runs about $17,100/month.*

The Storage system Reality

A battery is the rare asset whose decline is written into the warranty. Capacity in year eight is a contractual expectation, not a guess, which means a flat schedule that treats year one and year eight identically has priced the back half of the term wrong. How the system earns varies too — demand-charge management, energy arbitrage, or a capacity agreement are three different cash flows — so the structure gets built per project against the curve and the contract rather than against a generic asset class.

Payment Structures

The differentiation: four ways to own the same equipment, engineered to your cash flow. Compare them side by side on our structures page.

Operating Lease

Off-balance-sheet treatment with end-of-term flexibility — return, renew, or purchase. Often the right answer when technology cycles or accounting outcomes drive the decision.

$1 Buyout Lease

Own the equipment for one dollar at term end. Fixed payments, full Section 179 eligibility, and a clean path to ownership.

Seasonal & Step Payments

Payments that follow your revenue curve — lighter in slow months, heavier in peak season, or stepping up as new equipment ramps to full production.

Usage-Based & As-a-Service

Payments tied to hours, output, or consumption. The category Elevex is defining: pay for what equipment achieves, not what it costs.

How It Works

Three steps from quote to funded.

1 · Apply in Minutes

Application-only to $1,000,000 — no tax returns or financials below that threshold. Have your equipment quote, auction listing, or build spec ready.

2 · Structure Together

A finance professional (not a portal) walks the structure options — term, seasonality, end-of-term — and prices the deal to your cash flow.

Most transactions fund within 24–48 hours of signed documents. Your vendor gets paid; you get to work.

Common Questions

How does degradation affect the term?

It caps the sensible one. The warranted capacity curve says what the system is expected to deliver each year, and a term running well past the point where augmentation is due puts payments on capacity the system no longer has. Where augmentation is already planned, it belongs in the conversation up front rather than arriving as a separate question in year seven.

How are solar and storage handled when they're built together?

Best as one project. The two halves share an interconnection, a commissioning date, and frequently a single revenue contract, so treating them as unrelated purchases tends to produce two schedules with different end dates on equipment that only earns together.

Can I finance a used storage system?

Yes — used storage system financing is standard business, whether the unit comes from a dealer, an auction, or a private seller. We value working assets on condition and remaining service life, not a blanket age cutoff, and set terms the equipment can actually support.

Does a storage system qualify for Section 179?

Most business-use equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often meaning the first-year deduction outruns your first-year payments. Run your numbers on our Section 179 calculator and confirm specifics with your tax advisor.

How fast can battery storage financing close?

Application-only decisions to $1,000,000 come back in minutes for qualified credits, and most deals fund within 24–48 hours of signed documents. Apply online with your quote to start.
