Solar for Landlords and Commercial Tenants
Landlords across America, especially those that include utilities in their rental prices, now have a way to reduce their costs—with community solar.
This year, retail electricity prices are expected to increase 1.8 percent from 2015, averaging 12.86 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). At 38 percent higher than in 2001, the average annual cost of electricity in 2016 is set to be the highest of the 21st century.
To guard against inflating prices, community solar enables participants to lock in their cost of power for 20 years or more. Therefore, landlords who buy into community solar can enjoy significant long-term savings.
