Maximize rental property value with solar installation.

Installing solar on rental properties allows landlords to generate electricity, which can be sold to tenants for a profit. With the decreasing cost of solar and rising utility rates from Eskom, now is an opportune time for landlords to consider solar as a means to reduce costs and create a new revenue stream.

For properties like shopping malls and small developments with subdivided workspaces, solar installations can be particularly beneficial. Landlords with ample roof space can opt for a roof rental model, wherein a solar system is installed on the roof and space is rented out to maximize power generation for tenants. This arrangement generates additional revenue without incurring direct costs for the landlord, while tenants benefit from discounted electricity rates.

Alternatively, landlords can enter into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), where a third party supplies electricity at a lower cost than Eskom, with no initial capital investment required. Another option is to purchase the solar system outright, enabling savings to begin immediately. These flexible arrangements allow landlords to capitalize on solar energy, optimizing financial returns and promoting sustainability.
