WHAT WE DO

Solar for Landlords & Tenants (and Mother Earth 🌎)

For years, tenants have been starved of the opportunity to access the money-saving benefits of solar power because it wasn’t being presented properly to their landlords. We started Smartr™ Solar to change that.

By Landlords, For Landlords (& Tenants!)
20%+ Energy bill savings for Tenants
20%+ Average Annual ROI for Landlords
Increase property value by $15,000+ (according to studies by the U.S. DOE & Zillow)
Decrease vacancy & turnover with a valuable amenity (20%+ off electricity bills)
Let our patent-pending software handle tracking, billing and ongoing compliance

Tenant-savings. Landlord-earnings. Software. Equipment. Process.

Smartr™ Solar - and our custom, patent-pending software platform - were built specifically to make offering solar to tenants a great investment for landlords. Click below to see how.

I’d thought about getting solar for years and how it could be an income generator for my real estate business, but there was too much legal hassle and grey area to navigate. These guys finally figured it out, and now I’m making better returns on my solar systems than I am on my rentals!

How much does a solar system cost?

The cost of a solar power system depends on a variety of factors like how many panels are being purchased, and whether you qualify for the Federal Investment Tax Credit (FITC) which effectively offers you a 30% discount* on the cost of your system. While every property is different, the average solar power system costs around $35,000* before applying the FITC, and there are plenty of great financing options available that can allow you to purchase solar for as little as $0 down. To get a FREE, accurate quote for your specific properties, schedule a call with us.

How do I make money with solar? And how much money can I make?

Landlords can make money with solar power in a number of different ways. First and foremost, tenants pay landlords for the cheap, renewable power that the solar power system is generating (often saving tenants 20-30% on what they'd otherwise pay for that electricity!*) In qualifying markets, landlords can also sell the Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) that their system generates. These two payments often add up to thousands of dollars per year.

Since solar can save tenants 20-30% on their monthly bills, it is considered a valuable amenity by tenants, and can therefore help to decrease vacancy and turnover, which can help increase financial returns. Perhaps most importantly, according to a study of over 22,000 properties by the U.S. Department of Energy's Berkeley Lab, installing solar on a property increases the value of the property by $15,000 on average, with another study by Zillow finding that it increases values by 4.1% on average (equating to an increase of  $20,000+ on a $500,000 home.)

What is your 25-year performance guarantee?

Smartr™ Solar offers a 25-year performance guarantee on every system we sell. This guarantees that the system produces the amount of power that we say it will over the next 25 years.
