Roofs of others or for others – everyone profits
Renting out rooftops to operators of solar power plants has by now become an accepted model that offers many advantages. The owner of the building makes roof space available for the operation of solar power systems and receives appropriate rent payments in return. The operator of the system – for the most part commercial or institutional investors – purchases the solar power plant and receives the compensation that is paid for feeding the electricity into the grid. Long-term leases for a minimum of 20 years govern the rights and duties of both sides, thus eliminating all risks. The lessor does not incur any disadvantages under such deals. On the contrary, the existence of a solar power installation on the roof of a building frequently increases its value when it is sold given the contractually secured leasing income. It goes without saying that any solar power plant can be disassembled and reassembled on another suitable roof elsewhere as necessary. In a word: renting rooftops is profitable for all participants.
