As a commercial or industrial real estate owner you have probably been approached by a solar company before. They say the same thing - solar is good for the environment! But, what about your economics? You already know you don't have to spend any money on the installation, as the solar provider would sign a power purchase agreement (PPA) with your tenants. But, why the hassle?
The typical selling features for commercial and industrial real estate owners:
