NEW JERSEY LEASE OPTIONS

Real estate owners have a new way to create additional income from their rooftops and grounds.
Right now there’s a lot of talk in New Jersey about solar energy, and more specifically a newer lease program from Solar Cents. There aren’t many developers that can offer you the option to choose whether revenue or savings is best for structure for your organization. We take advantage of the incentives and pass the value to you through a direct savings or revenue stream that costs you nothing. New Jersey has just reached a benchmark by reaching 5% of our energy supply as carbon neutral and the state has a goal to supply 100% carbon-neutral electricity by 2050, and 50% by 2030. These targets are supported by a rich incentive program that, combined with the federal investment tax credit, makes now the best time to adopt solar energy. Property owners have several options to consider when putting solar energy on their rooftops. Each option can certainly provide value, but some will provide more than others. Let’s take a look at the leading options.

OPTION 1: ROOFTOP ENERGY SAVINGS PROGRAM

With Solar Cents’ Rooftop Energy Savings Program, you can capture the benefit of low utility rates from the system on your building for a much lower rate than you pay the utility.

Solar Cents pays all system costs but instead of providing a lease rate, Solar Cents utilizes the lease income to provide you with the lowest rate possible, typically near wholesale. Solar Cents or its Solar Investors, the system while you simply pay a fixed per kilowatt-hour rate below the current utility rate for the electricity. This results in stable, guaranteed income and energy savings.

OPTION 2: ROOFTOP REVENUE ROOF LEASE+ ENERGY

With Solar Cents’ Rooftop Revenue Program, you can reap the benefit of an annual rooftop lease income while also receiving solar energy from the system on your building for a lower rate than you pay the utility.
Like the Rooftop energy savings program, Solar Cents pays all system costs in addition to paying a guaranteed lease rate. Solar Cents owns the system while you simply pay a predictable per kilowatt-hour rate below the current utility rate for the electricity. Again, this results in stable, guaranteed income and energy savings.
In other words, the Solar Cents model provides the benefits of a roof lease, but it also provides the benefit of low-cost renewable electricity for you and your tenants. The table below compares these two options in more detail. Consumed
