INSIDE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY: Solar surge – a value-add powering commercial properties, no. 49

Many commercial investors don’t realise the unused potential of their rooftops.

For the 49th episode of Inside Commercial Property, hosts Scott O’Neill and Phil Tarrant are joined by commercial property expert Paul Harmsworth, director of Rethink Renewables, to discuss how rooftop solar can be a tool for monetising commercial buildings.

The discussion covers everything investors need to know about power purchasing agreements, which can allow a landlord to sell solar energy to a tenant at a discounted price. The trio also unpack all of the government goals and incentives that can be taken advantage of to increase a property’s value and revenue-generating potential.
