Business Models for Business Owners

BUSINESS MODELS FOR BUILDING OWNERS

If there’s an open rooftop on a building, there’s money being left on the table.

THINKING ABOUT GOING SOLAR?

Recent market volatility, low-interest rates, and overall unpredictability are all reasons to be thinking about where your company is invested and diversified.

Converting your rooftop into a solar asset is a simple way to repurpose an overhead cost into a high-yielding asset.

DOES YOUR COMPANY OCCUPY THE BUILDING?

If your company owns the building it occupies for its operations, there are a few business models to help you maximize your bottom line.

Full Ownership

You acquire the solar system through cash or debt and use the energy it produces to offset your current consumption. If your state allows it, you may sell excess energy at a profit.

Third-Party PPA

If your state allows commercial PPAs, you may have a third party invest in the system and sell all or part of its energy production to your company, at a price lower than you currently pay.

Third-Party Lease

If your state doesn’t allow PPAs, you may have a third party invest in your solar system and lease it to your company, allowing you to reduce electricity costs and income taxes.

Benefits of Solarizing Your Building

A solar system will help you lower your costs and reduce risks exposure while delivering huge branding and marketing benefits for your organization

Lower Electricity Costs

Reduced electricity costs by replacing utility consumption with solar generation.

Better Predictability

Predictable electricity costs for budgeting purposes and reduced volatility.

Corporate Alignment

Support corporate sustainability goals while improving your bottom line.

Branding and Marketing

Harvest huge branding and marketing benefits from going green.

LEASING YOUR BUILDING TO A THIRD PARTY?

If you are leasing your building to a third party, we can help you structure a commercial transaction to get the most value out of your rooftop

Owner-Tenant PPA

If your state allows commercial PPAs, you may invest in the system through cash or debt and sell all or part of its energy production to your tenants, at a price lower than they currently pay.

Owner-Tenant Lease

If your state doesn’t allow PPAs, you may invest in the solar system and lease it to your tenants, generating additional steady income and improving your building value.

Roof Rental

Not interested in making an investment at this point? You may rent your rooftop to an investor interested in acquiring the solar system to sell energy or lease it to your tenants.

Benefits of Solarizing Your Building

A solar system will help you diversify your investment’s revenue streams and can reduce the overall volatility of your property’s income.

Reduced Exposure

Reduced utility electricity consumption leads to reduced operating costs.

Lower occupancy costs facilitate the ability to charge higher rent when leasing.
