Brighte was founded in 2015 with a mission to make sustainable home upgrades affordable for every Australian household. As a NETCC (New Energy Tech Consumer Code) Approved Seller, Cable Co offers Brighte finance on all solar, battery, EV charger, and heat pump installations — meaning you can start saving on energy bills immediately while spreading the cost over time.
How Does Brighte Finance Work?
The process is straightforward and designed to be completed alongside your free energy assessment:
Step 1: Get Your Free Quote. Cable Co provides a detailed quote for your solar, battery, or EV charger installation — including your estimated annual savings and payback period.
Step 2: Apply for Finance. Apply through Cable Co's Brighte portal. The application takes approximately 5 minutes. You'll need your driver's licence and bank details for direct debit.
Step 3: Receive Approval. Most applications are approved within 24 hours. For packages under $5,000, simplified approval criteria apply.
Step 4: Installation. Once approved, Cable Co schedules your installation — typically within 2 weeks. You don't pay anything until the installation is complete and you've signed off.
Step 5: Start Saving. Your first repayment begins 30 days after installation. In most cases, your monthly savings on electricity exceed your monthly repayment from day one.

Why Your Repayments Are Less Than Your Savings
This is the key insight that makes Brighte finance compelling: for most households, the monthly electricity savings from solar exceed the monthly finance repayment. You are cash-flow positive from month one.
For example, a 6.6kW solar system saving $2,400/year ($200/month) financed over 60 months costs $92/month. That's a net saving of $108/month from the day of installation — and after 60 months, the savings are entirely yours for the remaining 20+ years of panel warranty life.
Eligibility Requirements
Brighte finance is available to Australian residents who are 18 years or older, have a valid Australian driver's licence or passport, have a regular income source, and have a bank account for direct debit repayments. There is no minimum income requirement, and the application process is designed to be simple and fast.
