How Do Solar Leases Increase Property Value?
For solar to be adopted consistently across commercial properties, there must be a credible and meaningful financial benefit to commercial property owners.
Until recently, a model did not exist to provide this benefit. However, a financial model has emerged that provides predictable, long-term income to property owners. This structure is known as a solar rooftop lease.
Solar leases are a no-cost way to bring solar power to commercial properties in a way that increases long-term Net Operating Income (NOI). In this article, we’ll dive into what solar leases are, how they work, and why they’re a great choice for commercial and industrial properties.
