King Energy CEO John Witchel Joins Fox Business to Discuss Turning Unused Rooftops Into Long-Term Revenue

October 2025

King Energy CEO John Witchel recently joined Hilary Lane on Fox Business to discuss how commercial property owners and national retailers are transforming underutilized rooftops into reliable, long-term income streams through solar and battery systems.

In the conversation, Witchel explained how King Energy’s approach unlocks new value for property owners:

“What we provide to landlords — [a] risk-free, investment-free way to monetize their roof.”

Solar Now Makes Financial Sense for Commercial Real Estate

Across the country, property owners are increasingly recognizing solar as a strategic financial asset. With energy costs rising and sustainability expectations growing, solar has evolved from a green initiative to a revenue-generating investment for landlords and a cost-saving measure for tenants. Advancements in financing, energy storage, and property-scale deployment are making solar adoption easier, faster, and more profitable than ever before.

King Energy’s Nationwide Model Simplifies Solar for Multi-Tenant Properties

As the nationwide leader in multi-tenant commercial solar, King Energy designs, installs, owns, and operates solar and battery systems at no cost to property owners. The company’s model delivers:

  • Steady rental income for property owners.
  • Lower, predictable energy costs for tenants.
  • Seamless operations powered by King Energy’s enterprise-grade billing platform, OneBill™.

By handling every aspect—from design to ongoing operations—King Energy eliminates complexity and aligns incentives across the real estate ecosystem.

Built for Long-Term Partnership and Predictable Energy

With growing demand from retailers for stable, lower-cost energy, King Energy continues to expand its national footprint—partnering with property owners, institutional investors, and retailers to turn rooftops into lasting assets.

King Energy’s commitment to durable partnerships, software-driven scalability, and financial alignment positions it at the forefront of the commercial solar transformation.
