Why Community Solar Farms Are A New and Lucrative Revenue Opportunity For Solar Companies

Palm Beach, FL – September 16, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – As solar power technology continues to improve with each advancement, the USE of those technologies is also creating a surge in property owners earning new revenues by becoming a host site for solar farms. The positive impact of solar energy on commercial properties continues to expand.  A growing number of landlords and property owners have been installing solar energy systems on rooftops, open land, and canopy-style carports at commercial properties of all kinds.  These investments reduce operating costs, promote sustainability, and boost returns on investment.  As technology costs have fallen and efficiencies have increased, providing more energy output per square foot, solar has become one of the primary sources of new electrical capacity installed across the United States.  An article in Commercial Property Executive, quoting Con Edision Clean Energy Businesses executives, said: “Beyond asset-by-asset investment in solar, commercial real estate owners in a growing number of states can realize even greater savings and efficiency by participating in an increasingly popular program—community solar… under a community solar approach, if your commercial property can host more solar-based electricity than your property requires, the additional energy produced can be sold for the benefit of the surrounding community.”  Active Companies in the markets today include Green Stream Holdings Inc. (OTCPK: GSFI), SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR), iSun, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISUN), First Solar,Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW).

 

The article continued: “Community solar also delivers community relations benefits by serving as a quiet, clean source of sustainable energy for the local area. Landlords benefit from lower cost energy while positively contributing to the local community by extending the opportunity for lower cost energy to nearby energy users, who become subscribers to the solar energy output.  The number of subscribers who can be served varies based on the size of the system and from state to state based upon community solar qualification guidance.  As host, you don’t need to be a participating subscriber although most hosts choose to subscribe to capture the benefit of lower electricity pricing.  In addition to the revenues earned by serving as the host of a community solar project, the property owner can realize additional savings in energy costs by participating as a subscriber to the energy output of the project.  Thanks to the progressive regulatory policies, falling equipment costs, and advancing technology, community solar can offer exciting and financially attractive opportunities for commercial property owners while building a more sustainable world.”
