Utilities Leasing Rooftops for Solar Power Generation | Add Comment

  • Untapped Revenue from Rooftops 6/29/2010
    California Utility companies aren’t the only players in this market leasing rooftop space. Independent power producers are also in the game. Not to mention Urban Agriculture companies as well. Commercial, MultiFamily, Agricultural (Barn and Ranch), Warehouse (like you mention in this article), Institutional and Industrial rooftops are needed for distributed energy and urban agriculture. To find out more how all of these rooftops can be turned into revenue sources, you can go to http://www.seglet.com. Typically, these are not straight leases, but involve a sq. foot lease rate (varies between &0.30 and $1/sq foot) coupled with another form of creative compensation such as profit sharing (of the energy or food produced on the roof), or selling the energy and food to the building owner directly at a reduced and set price for a number of years.
