Commercial Rooftop Solar Leasing
Fund solar installations on commercial rooftops, earning income from long-term power agreements.
How it typically works
- A sponsor develops or acquires an energy-generation, storage, or infrastructure asset with a contracted or market-based revenue stream.
- Investor capital funds development, construction, or acquisition costs, often paired with project-level debt financing.
- The asset is operated (directly or via a third-party operator) to generate and sell power, capacity, or grid services.
- Revenue from long-term contracts or market sales is distributed to investors after operating and debt costs.
Why investors consider it
- Contracted revenue structures (such as long-term power purchase agreements) can provide relatively predictable cash flow.
- Exposure to the energy transition and grid modernization trend, a long-term structural tailwind.
- Infrastructure assets are often essential-use, which can support resilient demand.
Key risks to understand
- Regulatory and policy risk — incentives, tariffs, and grid rules can shift and affect project economics.
- Construction and technology risk, particularly for newer or first-of-kind projects.
- Illiquidity and long investment horizons typical of infrastructure development.
Who this is generally for
