Solar PV projects for multifamily / apartment buildings is often tricky. How will the solar energy be divided among renters and common loads... #gabeonthego #multifamily #properties #propertymanagement #proptech #realestate

Wickes is the first (that I know of) #buildersmerchants to invest in the domestic energy efficiency market. They have described seeing opportunities in the "fragmented market for domestic solar installations, which is forecast growth from £1.1bn in 2024 to £1.5bn in 2028 as homeowners and landlords retrofit their properties to reduce energy bills". They plan to buy 51% of the issued share capital of Gas Fast, the parent company of solar installations company Solar Fast, for £5.1 million, with scope to buy the remaining 49% over the next 5 years.

Adding #solar to a commercial real estate property can bring significant environmental benefits, ranging from improving a building's GRESB score or LEED rating to helping owners and tenants meet net-zero carbon goals. But what about the economic advantages? Today, it’s often cheaper to purchase power from on-site clean energy systems like rooftop solar than from a utility company. The dramatic reduction in the cost of solar combined with a significant uptick in the price of grid-provided electricity—not to mention the new incentives available under the IRA—means many individual properties can now unlock millions of dollars by going solar. Read on to find out how #CRE property owners can capture value from solar, whatever kind of lease their buildings might have. #energytransition #renewables #renewableenergy #commercialrealestate #cleanenergy #LumenEnergy

For commercial property owners and managers evaluating how to get the most financial benefit from solar, these are five trends in commercial solar to watch in 2024: https://lnkd.in/gsb9P-qV #commercialsolar #solarenergy #kingenergy

I’ve been talking a lot about how to “future-proof” your CRE assets with energy efficiency being an integral part of the strategy. The regulations are already in place so it’s in your best interest to be proactive. California's updated Title 24 introduces new requirements mandating solar and energy storage for all new commercial and industrial buildings. This regulatory shift not only aims at sustainability but also presents opportunities for CRE owners and developers to monetize energy investments. Key highlights include: - Solar systems to cover 60% of electricity needs - Mandatory energy storage - EV charging mandates

❗️You'll want to discover how multifamily housing is emerging as a pivotal player in the U.S. solar revolution. ✔️ The Solar for All grants of $7 billion announced on Earth Day 2024 is a remarkable development for solar adoption in low-to-moderate-income households. ✔️ Multifamily housing's scalability allows for the efficient implementation of solar projects, facilitating widespread access to solar benefits. ✔️ Important policy measures like tax credits, solar mandates, and technologies like SolShare catalyze solar adoption in multifamily housing. Discover how the U.S. solar energy revolution is taking a turn as multifamily housing takes the spotlight. On Earth Day 2024, the U.S. announced the $7 billion Solar for All grants, a promising move for solar adoption in LMI households. For too long, multifamily housing—a sector with tremendous scalability—has faced hurdles in adopting renewable energy due to the “split incentive” issue. However, policy measures like solar mandates and tax credits, along with initiatives like Solar for All, have proven to be a game-changer. Take, for instance, California’s mandate that all new multifamily buildings integrate solar panels—a progressive step towards solving the split incentive issue. This, coupled with innovative technologies like SolShare, promises to elevate multifamily housing’s role in the clean energy transition. With the federal government's renewed emphasis on inclusive clean energy policies, multifamily housing is not just benefiting, but potentially catalyzing significant changes in solar energy adoption.

In Rhode Island we have a lot of options for our customers considering rooftop solar for their business. One of the best ways to start getting revenue quickly is a solar lease, check out this article I wrote about Solar Lease Rates in Rhode Island. https://lnkd.in/dfmptC_H

**Unraveling The Solar Potential: A Deep-Dive into Connecticut's Groundbreaking Solar Initiatives** ✅ The Connecticut Green Bank has recently doubled its funding for the expansion of commercial solar projects. ✅ The Bank introduced the Energy Storage Solutions, reducing installation costs by $200 per kWh of battery capacity, encouraging Eversource and UI customers to implement energy storage systems. ✅ Through the Residential Solar Investment Program, it offers partial refunds and incentives to lessen the expenses of installing rooftop solar panels, helping already 46,000 households. Connecticut's green finance sector is pioneering in the realm of solar energy, led by the Connecticut Green Bank. With keen interest and sustained efforts, it has been leading the way in accelerating the green economy throughout the state. They've newly amplified their funding towards commercial solar projects, benefiting enterprises, towns, educational institutions, nonprofits, and even state agencies. For residential customers, the launch of the Energy Storage Solutions initiative enables a significant dip in cost for installing energy storage systems. The bank is instrumental in financing this declining-block upfront incentive, thereby making solar more accessible and affordable. Alongside this, the exemplary support towards the Residential Solar Investment Program offers rebates and incentives, reducing the financial burden on homeowners installing solar rooftops. This initiative alone has enabled 46,000 households to embark on the journey towards a sustainable and economically viable future. Connecticut Green Bank truly exemplifies the power of a public-private financing model that ensures long-term solutions, soon to be financed by the private sector. This approach is substantially vital for escalating clean energy projects all around the state. For more information on selling solar virtually across the USA visit www.tstpros.com.
