Five property types. One playbook.
Whether you own a 1,500 sq ft bungalow or a 1-million-square-foot distribution center, the thesis is the same: turn the surface into a producing asset. Typical payback runs 3–7 years on commercial roofs and 8–12 years on homes.
Retail Plazas
Strip malls, power centres, mixed-use retail.
Ideal profile: Multi-tenant retail with shared roof, 20,000–200,000 sq ft. Best fit: owner-paid common-area utilities, or a large anchor tenant with high consumption.
- Landlord-vs-tenant metering structuring
- Common-area utility cost reduction (lighting, HVAC, parking, signage)
- Rent-bump justification via green building certification
- EV-charger canopy add-ons over parking stalls
- Tenant marketing kit highlighting sustainability
Commercial
Offices and mixed-use buildings.
Ideal profile: Single-tenant or owner-occupied commercial buildings, typically 10,000+ sq ft of usable roof.

- Accelerated CCA (Class 43.2) — 100% first-year deduction
- Federal Investment Tax Credit eligibility analysis
- Demand-response and net-metering optimization
- Lender ESG reporting & green-bond documentation
Industrial
Warehouses, manufacturing, logistics, distribution.
Ideal profile: Large flat roofs, single utility account, high daytime load.
- Mega-watt scale arrays (typical 500 kW – 5 MW)
- Process-load matching for heavy daytime users
- Integrated battery storage for demand-charge reduction
- EV-charging canopy and fleet electrification add-ons
- Carbon credit aggregation
Multi-Family Residential
Condo boards, REITs, and rental portfolios.
Ideal profile: 5–200+ units, flat or low-slope roofs, central or sub-metered electricity.

Homes
Single-family residential — detached and semi-detached.
