If you have usable rooftop space, did you know that independent power producers, solar energy companies, urban agriculture companies, and more want to lease it from you?

That is right, your rooftop space is a valuable part of your property now.  If you aren't listing it as a site for energy production or urban farming, you are missing out on getting a return from your unused rooftop space. 

When your rooftop space is used as a site for energy production or food production, you get either a flat $/sq. foot lease rate, a split of the profits from the energy or food produced and sold, or a reduction in your energy bill with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). You can also get a combination, for example, a flat lease rate plus a PPA. 

Site requirements for solar energy, wind energy and urban agriculture vary. Most flat (or up to 30 degree sloped) rooftop space may be useful for these purposes, as long as you have a 1,000 sq. foot or more building.   

It's important to know that when they contact you, the interested power or food producers will request a site inspection to walk your property (with an Engineer) to determine if your rooftop has the structural capacity to handle additional weight.  This is a good and necessary step to ensure that your rooftop is a good fit for their projects. If all requirements pass, you can then begin negotiations of the lease rate, PPA, profit sharing, and other benefits you receive for the use of your rooftop space. 

And that's it. The process of listing your rooftop space as a site for solar energy, wind energy or urban agriculture. Satisfy your curiosity of receiving revenue from your rooftops today.
