3. Do Nothing and Still Profit:

If active solar management isn't your preference, transform your roof space into income. By leasing unused space to a solar company, effortlessly unlock a revenue stream. Your roof space becomes a valuable asset contributing to sustainability and profit.

Key Questions for Your Solar Installer:

When engaging with your installer, ask crucial questions to maximise your roof space potential:

a. Maximising Roof Space for Profit: If you have more roof space than your electricity consumption requires and aren't maximising it, you're missing out on revenue. Selling excess electricity to an off-taker not only cuts costs but also opens a new revenue stream. Ask your installer if they are aware of such options and can bring them to the table.

b. Exploring the Best 3rd Party Solar Finance Options: Don't settle for a one-size-fits-all approach. Ensure your solar installer presents you with a range of solar finance options, including different tariffs, contract lengths, and terms. This diversity ensures you secure the most favourable terms for your unique requirements.

c. Leveraging Unused Roof Space as Real Estate Asset: Your roof space is more than an overhead structure – it's a real estate asset. If you have available roof space without corresponding energy consumption, consider leasing it to a solar company and earning rent. It's a win-win situation for your sustainability goals and your bottom line.
