Pfister Energy Can Help Commercial Real Estate Owners Generate Income by Utilizing Unused Rooftops
Property owners are constantly searching for ways to increase revenue and maximize asset value. One of the most underutilized opportunities lies in your property’s unused rooftop, parking areas, and available land. By installing solar energy, you can transform this idle space into a revenue-generating asset. At Pfister Energy, we offer renewable energy solutions that allow commercial real estate owners to unlock the full potential of their unused space.
Here’s how to turn your unused rooftop into a powerful revenue generator with solar energy.
Powering the Grid and Generating Revenue with No Upfront Costs
Community Solar: A Revenue Stream for Shared Benefits
Community solar projects are a growing trend, offering commercial property owners a unique way to generate revenue while supporting their local community’s access to clean energy. Your rooftop or other unused assets serve as the site for a solar installation that provides energy to nearby residents and businesses that cannot install solar panels themselves – at no upfront costs.
As the host of a community solar project, you can receive annual lease payments and/or significant upfront payments from a solar developer, from the sale of energy generated by the project. And depending on the state(s) where your properties are located, you can add tens of thousands of dollars in annual revenue. Meanwhile, local subscribers benefit from lower energy costs, and you position your property as a leader in sustainability and community engagement.
Having installed 300+ megawatts of community solar across NJ, NY, MD, CT, PA, and VA, Pfister Energy is committed to delivering sustainable energy solutions.
Feed-In-Tariffs (FiT): Get Paid for Creating Clean Energy
Front-of-the-meter systems allow you to directly feed the electricity generated by your solar panels into the utility grid. Your commercial rooftop effectively becomes a mini power plant, generating clean energy that utilities purchase. This direct sale of electricity offers a substantial, long-term revenue stream, turning your building into a key player in the renewable energy market.
With front-of-the-meter solar, you can maximize the potential of vast rooftop spaces while contributing to the broader renewable energy infrastructure.
Leasing Your Rooftop Space: Earning Passive Income
If you’re not interested in managing a solar energy system yourself, you can lease your unused roof space to a solar developer. By allowing a third party to install solar panels on your rooftop, you generate income through regular lease payments. This is an ideal solution for property owners who want to monetize their roof space without directly managing a solar project.
Leasing agreements work for both front-of-the-meter and community solar projects, allowing you to earn steady, predictable income while supporting clean energy production.
