Community Solar For Commercial Property Owners

Getting Started With Your Community Solar Project

Commercial and industrial real estate owners often face barriers to installing a solar energy system, such as unsuitable roof space or difficulty dividing the benefits of solar energy among tenants.

Community solar offers an accessible alternative for customers in 39 states that makes the benefits of solar possible for more people, including property owners, tenants and the communities themselves.

What is Community Solar? A community solar project is defined as a local solar facility shared by multiple community subscribers who receive credit on their utility bills for a share of the power produced.

Projects are often located on underutilized land or spaces such as commercial rooftops. CRE owners may have several properties ideal for rooftop community solar.

While there are many models of community solar today, the underlying principle remains the same: Shared access to a clean energy resource that’s locally produced.

Is Your Property Right for Community Solar? Moving to renewable energy without support can be difficult to accomplish without substantial financial and organizational resources.

If your organization is committed to sustainability but faces obstacles with renewable energy in terms of site suitability or financing, community solar may be a better alternative to other solar models.

There are a multitude of ways to participate in community solar. Your company can host the array and be its principal off-taker (or subscriber) or you can be a host only — providing tenants and community members the option to become subscribers. You can also choose to subscribe to another community solar project that isn’t hosted on your property.

How Catalyze Approaches Community Solar We work directly with commercial property owners to build, own and operate their systems, enabling them to be the principal off-taker of the clean energy.

We can also work with CRE owners to offer subscriptions to their tenants — a valuable amenity in a competitive real estate market — while providing a highly beneficial service to the community.

The Catalyze REenergyze™ platform analyzes your real estate portfolio to identify properties where the addition of smart energy infrastructure will increase net operating income and create long-term value. If none of the sites in your portfolio are suitable for onsite solutions, we may be able to match your company to one of our existing community solar projects as an energy off-taker.
