About ArkFlow
Solar finance, with every option on the table.
ArkFlow is built and operated by Solarmente (Pty) Ltd (Reg. 2022/654500/07), a South African company that has quoted well over R1 billion in energy projects. We make finance the easy part of going solar — for the customer paying for the system, and for the installer selling it.
Homeowners
get the solar quote you already have financed, without becoming a finance expert.
Businesses
compare owning against pay-per-use structures like PPAs and rentals, modelled on real consumption.
Solar EPCs & installers
turn every quote into a bankable proposal, and get onboarded with every lender once.
Funders
receive applications that arrive gathered, vetted and packaged.
Why ArkFlow
Your bank shows you one option. You should see them all.
Walking into a bank gets you that bank’s product, on that bank’s timeline. We built ArkFlow so that a solar quote can be priced every way it could be financed, tested before a lender sees it, and taken to every lender you choose at once — with your own bank still on the list. That is the whole company in a sentence; the rest is software.
See every option. Then decide.
