Free Roof Analysis
Three steps, about six months, and almost none of it touches you. Here's exactly how the program works, and why your downside is engineered out.
We evaluate your roof for solar viability: usable area, structural capacity, transformer and electrical capacity, and interconnection feasibility. You receive a clear, no-obligation estimate of the lease income your roof can generate, and an honest read on whether it qualifies.
We execute a long-term lease, then handle everything technical and regulatory: third-party structural engineering, system design, permitting, Austin Energy approvals, and grid interconnection. The lease includes SNDA and mortgagee-consent provisions, so your financing stays clean. Permits and interconnection are a condition precedent: if Austin Energy approvals aren't obtained, the lease voids automatically.
Our affiliated roofing and solar crews install the system, typically 3–9 weeks depending on size, with access scheduled around your tenants and operations. The system energizes, begins delivering power to Austin Energy, and your fixed monthly lease payments begin, escalating 1% per year for the life of the lease.
The mechanism that makes all of this work, and why it's safer for an owner than almost any tenant lease.
Under the SOP, Austin Energy commits to purchase the solar power at a set rate per kilowatt-hour through a Feed-In Tariff, not a private power-purchase agreement. Historically that's been around $0.1124/kWh for systems under 1 MW (lower for larger), with rates reset periodically by the utility.
The system is utility-facing: it feeds the grid directly and does not touch your tenants' meters, billing, or service. That's why there's no tenant disruption and no interference with existing lease relationships.
You're paid a fixed lease per square foot. By program rule, your income can't be tied to system production. The utility carries the offtake; we carry the operations; you carry none of the generation risk.
Each project is held in its own entity, a "[Property Name] Solar LLC," a project company of Energy Economics Development LLC, which finances 100% of the equipment, engineering, permitting, and installation. The lease names you as additional insured, includes clear indemnification, and grants step-in rights so you're protected even in the unlikely event of operator default.
