Lease or buy rooftop solar? Ownership options for CRE owners explained

Should you lease your roof for solar or own the system yourself?

‍

This breakdown walks commercial real estate owners through every ownership structure for rooftop solar and the hybrid option most owners don't know exists.

Covered: the third-party solar lease, where a developer builds, finances, operates, and maintains the system while you collect rent with zero CapEx; buying the system out from the developer down the line; self-financing and why it's the trickiest path; and co-investing alongside a developer for a share of the upside.

Most owners lease. Here's how to know if you shouldn't.
