Your money is held by the AFSL, not by SolarCloud
The regulated structure that protects your investment.
Read what they say.
SolarCloud customers are already reducing their energy bill.
"My electricity account just reduced by $74.20. Honestly I had my doubts at first, it sounded too good to be true. But it works."

"I'm Steve. I've been a SolarCloud solar owner for some time now and after seeing how well it worked I recently decided to buy another 1kW on top of my original 5kW share, and will definitely be adding more as finances allow over the coming years. I'm a renter, so I can't put solar panels on my own roof. SolarCloud solved that for me. The credits go straight onto my AGL electricity bill — the most recent one was just over $100 — and because it's transferable, I can take the benefit with me if I move or pass it on later. Pairing the SolarCloud credits with my home battery setup and AGL's Night Saver EV plan has made a real difference to my electricity costs, saving over $150 a month. John and the team have always been quick to respond whenever I've had questions, and the updated website makes it much clearer and easier for people to understand and go ahead. If you're a renter like me, or just looking for a straightforward way to get the benefits of solar without installing panels yourself, I'd recommend looking into SolarCloud."

"I invested in SolarCloud because as an apartment dweller I can't have solar on my own roof. I have just had my first SolarCloud credit come through on my Energy Locals account and couldn't be happier!"

1. Your money sits in a regulated investment scheme; not in our operating bank account.
SolarCloud is an ASIC-regulated investment product ARSN 612 098 110 (e.g. a registered managed investment scheme), operated under an AFSL (Australian Financial Services Licence).
2. There are strict rules on how the funds can be handled.
The scheme must follow ASIC rules: segregation of funds, proper record-keeping, disclosure obligations and limits on what the money can be used for.
3. Independent oversight reduces misuse risk.
It's a registered investment product. There are strict compliance regulations, reporting and governance to adhere to.
4. Monthly audits add another safety layer.
The scheme is audited monthly. This means: transactions and balances are checked frequently; discrepancies will be picked up early; and an external set of eyes verify funds and records match what's being reported to customers.
5. Clear paper trail for every dollar.
As it's a regulated product, every contribution, allocation of solar and distributions are recorded and reconciled.
Simply
Instead of trusting our bank account, you're relying on a regulated ASIC-registered investment structure with monthly audits and legal obligations around how your money is held and used.
What happens if SolarCloud were ever to enter administration?
While we believe this is highly unlikely, let's cut to the chase - having spent over 10 years building SolarCloud and investing millions of dollars, along with significant personal commitment - we have structured the business specifically to protect investors in any scenario. SolarCloud operates under an independent AFSL holder, LLA Equities, who acts as the responsible manager and compliance overseer. If SolarCloud were ever unable to continue operating: LLA Equities would assume day-to-day operational control; the fund and investor assets would continue to be managed under the AFSL; all compliance, governance, and reporting obligations would remain in place; operations would continue independently of SolarCloud's corporate structure.
This independent oversight is deliberate.
It ensures the business does not rely solely on SolarCloud as an entity and provides structural protection for investors. That separation is not incidental - it is intentional governance.
Behind the Compliance
AFSL
SolarCloud operates under the oversight of LLA Equities Pty Ltd, an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL no. 229754) holder, who audits and oversees your investment in solar. SolarCloud is a registered investment product (ARSN 612 098 110) - designed to let anyone over 18 and who can afford it, invest directly into solar around the world.

Your money
SolarCloud is like other registered investment schemes which fall under the jurisdiction of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). ASIC-registered schemes are strictly regulated by independent third parties, specifically an Australian Financial Services Licence holding firm known as a Responsible Entity. Most importantly, what this means is your money from the sale of energy never passes through our hands. Instead, it always goes through the Responsible Entity and the funds are overseen by a Responsible Manager appointed by them. For SolarCloud, these entities are: LLA Equity Limited.
