Financing without financial contribution

Financial partners

 

CreaSun offers complete financing of your PV system with three partners :
  • SOLFEA, subsidiary de GDF – Suez
  • SOFEMO
  • La Caisse d’Epargne

 

Complete financing

With those 3 organizations, CreaSun offers financing the entire costs of the installation (material + installation/implementation).


It is an unsecured loan with a grace period of 11 to 24 months (you have the money to buy the material and to pay installation and the beginning of the repayment intervenes not till 11 to 24 months after, to wait for the first transfer of ERDF).

If you prefer to finance your installation with your habitual bank you can do so, but in general there will be higher interests.


Steps of financing

Once the complete file has been sent to CreaSun, the response time is two to three weeks on average (unless your debt exceeds 30% of your income, organizations can provide a positive response).

 

You receive the loan offer that you may sign and send to the organization of financing. The release of funds held within an average of 10 days. In parallel CreaSun plans the establishment of your installation.

 

On average the overall delay between the order of the material and the end of the installation is under 2 weeks (CreaSun is particularly quick, compared with other companies which do not dispose of their own implementation teams – which can lead to delays of several months).

 

At the end of the implementation you might sign a report of receipt that is transmitted to the financial institution to release the funds with CreaSun who has advanced.

 

It will approximately take three months to connect the facility to the ERDF network.

 

One year after the connection of the installation, ERDF will pay your first production (actually, you should allow three weeks more to receive the actual payment).

 

Editing files


Loan file

To mount the loan file, you must meet the following pieces:
  • photocopy of identity card (both sides)
  • 1 RIB (slip showing details of a bank account) of your bank account
  • Last 3 payslips
  • Last tax return

Administrative record

To install the panels on the roof, you must obtain permission from the mayor, called prior request (unless located in an area classified and that you have a sufficient roof area, it should not oppose)

 

CreaSun handles the entire process, however, you must provide :
  • the ground plan and facade plans for housing (provided by the architect)
  • the cadastral map (provided by the council or the Land Registry)
  • A power to CreaSun to make the prior request for you

Connection file

To connect your system to the ERDF network, so as to inject your production there, there are several required documents:
  • Mandate to apply for the ERDF connection in the name of the customer
  • Collecting form (technical details of the installation)
  • Photos of the electric meter outside (inside, outside) and CB (circuit breaker)

Possible subventions

 

Subsidies

To finance a photovoltaic installation you get a tax credit up to € 8000 up for a couple ( € 4000 for a single person) plus € 200 per dependent child (ie those attached to the tax unit), within 50 % of the purchase price, excluding tax of the equipment ( labour is not taken into account).

 

Example

You are married and you install 20m2 on the roof of your house. All equipment is € 15000 excluding tax. You can recover 50% x € 15000 = € 7500

 

In general, the payment of tax credit occurs between August and September (the case of a tax credit, even if you are not taxable, you can benefit).

 

Help of the region

The PACA region provides assistance of € 300 per household for a photovoltaic installation. The aid application is sent directly to the region by CreaSun. This assistance is usually paid within two months, through a region cheque which is transmitted by CreaSun to a Paying Agency (over Lyon) that returns a cheque to the recipient of aid.

 

If you are not employed, you only need a prove of your income. If both spouses are employed, the records of one person is sufficient.

 

Beware, the tax credit will be paid three months after your return (late August or early September).
