Convert your commercial rooftop into fixed, passive revenue. We lease your unused space, manage the solar asset, and you receive checks. Zero penetrations, zero maintenance.
Our specialized model is optimized for commercial landlords in Austin, TX.
We enter into a long-term agreement (typically 20+ years) to lease unused roof space on your building. In return, you receive predictable annual lease payments, turning underutilized roof space into passive income without affecting your building operations.
A third-party developer finances, installs, and operates the solar system. We manage the development, construction, and ongoing operations - meaning no capital investment, maintenance, or operational responsibility for the building owner.
Our solar systems use ballasted mounting, meaning no drilling into your roof. The system is weighted to stay secure while helping preserve the integrity of your roofing membrane.
Solar panels provide shade across large portions of the roof surface, reducing heat absorption. This can help lower roof temperatures and potentially reduce cooling demand during hot Austin summers.
You’re not responsible for owning or managing the system. We handle development, installation, and ongoing operations - allowing you to earn predictable lease income from unused roof space without additional responsibilities.
Rooftop systems developed through Grackle Grid can contribute clean energy to Austin’s grid as part of the city’s growing community solar ecosystem. This allows commercial buildings to participate in the local transition to renewable energy without needing to own or operate the system.
For property owners, hosting solar can also support broader sustainability initiatives and ESG reporting while helping expand access to locally generated renewable energy.
