Distributed Solar Power for Commercial Properties

For commercial property owners and tenants, Recurrent Energy provides a unique service that addresses barriers to onsite solar power in the following building applications:

Leased Properties — Distributed solar power overcomes embedded disincentives between property owners and tenants. It enables tenants to enjoy solar power at competitive prices while paying roof rent to owners to enhance ROI. Recurrent Energy's distributed solar power is a zero-capital-cost improvement that “greens” a property, making it more attractive to tenants and buyers.

Corporate Enterprises — Distributed solar power offers corporate property owners a way to reduce carbon emissions by leveraging an existing resource — empty rooftops. Recurrent Energy deploys solar power systems on its customers’ facilities (whether owned or leased) to deliver competitively priced solar power. Plus, the company’s unique reporting tools provide an effective way to communicate environmental benefits to employees, customers, regulators, and investors.

Regional Shopping Centers — Distributed solar power is an ideal improvement for retail properties with significant common area maintenance loads. Recurrent Energy delivers competitively-priced clean electricity to offset heating, cooling, and lighting needs. Owners realize increased asset value, as evidence indicates “green” retail properties compete more effectively for shoppers and tenants.

Hotels — Distributed solar power provides an effective way to reduce electricity-related emissions associated with hotel operations. Recurrent Energy deploys solar power systems to hotel facilities, providing clean electricity for little to no additional cost over utility rates. Distributed solar power is a key part of positioning hotel properties as sustainable, creating a point of differentiation for guests, and underlining environmental values.

Sustainability without the Cost, Risk, or Complication

Recurrent Energy’s distributed solar power offering delivers reduced carbon emissions, energy independence, predictable pricing, and enhanced sustainability — without the upfront cost, risk of ownership, or operating burden of doing it yourself.
