one partner, throughout
At exnrg, We are a fully integrated solar development firm with capabilities across every phase of the project — from initial feasibility and interconnection to engineering, procurement, construction, financing, and long-term operations.
Portfolio/ Site Analysis
We review rooftops and portfolios for solar feasibility with a structured approach that considers roof size, condition, structural capacity, interconnection availability, local and federal incentives, and development costs. Whether evaluating a single property or a multi-site portfolio, our process produces data-driven recommendations.
Engineer, Procure & Construct
Our team manages the full EPC cycle — from stamped design and equipment sourcing to construction oversight and commissioning. Through direct relationships with leading manufacturers and distributors, we secure bankable equipment at competitive pricing.
Operations & Maintenance
We provide ongoing monitoring, preventive maintenance, warranty management, and service response agreements designed to keep systems producing as modeled.
Offtake
We structure projects depending on site load, access to capital, and tax position. Community solar fits buildings with no onsite demand. PPA’s suit landlords & operators with load but limited CapEx or tax appetite. Direct sales work best when the owner has current or near-term tax liability and wants to capture the ITC and depreciation.
Bespoke Capital Structures
We specialize in project finance. Solar systems can be capital-intensive. For example, a 300 kW system can cost over $1 million. We’re flexible and capital-backed, combining tax equity, project finance, and credit transfer structures to match each deal’s needs
Technical & Legal Expertise
Licensed engineers assess structural feasibility, and the Legal team streamlines lease negotiations, tax structuring, and documentation.
This structure allows us to deliver consistent outcomes, faster timelines, and full accountability from development through operations. Projects are developed and managed internally, using standardized processes that support scalability, and cost control.
We work directly with real estate owners and operators across industrial, multifamily, retail, and hospitality sectors — structuring projects through rooftop leases, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), or direct ownership depending on site use and capital access.
Rooftop solar opportunities for CRE owners
DEAL TYPES
We offer flexible structures designed around your property's usage, energy goals, and tax position — whether you prefer to own the system, reduce utility costs, or simply generate lease revenue with minimal involvement.
Direct Sale (EPC Contractor)
Own the system and capture the full value — energy savings, tax credits, depreciation and increased asset value. Pay upfront or finance the system over time. This model suits owners with long-term hold strategies and available tax appetite. Our team can assist in structuring financing.
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
No upfront cost. We build and maintain the system on your site — you purchase the energy it produces at a guaranteed discounted rate compared to your utility. This model reduces operating costs with zero CapEx, and zero downside risk.
Rooftop Site Lease
Lease your roof — we handle the rest. We develop, fund, install, and operate the solar system. You earn recurring, stable income with zero CapEx, zero maintenance, and zero obligation to use the power onsite.
CLIENT TYPES
Our Rooftop Lease Model, Explained
Rooftop Leasing, Benefits
Zero Cost, Zero Work
All capital and responsibilities are ours. Lease revenue is entirely passive for the owner.
Extend the Life of Your Roof
Solar panels shield the roof from direct UV and weather exposure, reducing wear and helping extend roof lifespan.
Increase Property Values
Lease payments increase NOI, which in turn raises property value through the cap rate — value that can be realized at refinance or sale.
Attract and Retain Tenants
Offering discounted solar power enhances tenant appeal and supports retention, adding value to your leasing strategy.
Challenges & Concerns For Rooftop Solar, Answered
“Rooftop solar is straightforward — install panels, start earning.”
Grid interconnection queues can take 6–12 months, involve multiple utility filings, and can shift timelines significantly.
“It all standardized, there’s not much to it.”
Every project faces different permitting, legal, and utility requirements — we manage these across multiple jurisdictions.
“This looks like a low-effort source of income for the developer.”
We invest significant capital — often $1M+ per site — and take on long-term operational, financial, and performance risk.
“Do I have to use the solar energy?”
No. All energy is fed into the grid. Lease income is independent of onsite usage.
“Why do you pay for everything — what’s the catch?”
There isn’t one. We invest capital and manage complexity to earn revenue through power sales and credits. You get lease payments and stay hands-off.
“Will this damage my roof or affect my warranty?”
No. We use a ballasted system that requires no roof penetrations and is removable without damage.
Ballasted Racking
Flat-Roof Solar Without Roof Penetration
Ballasted solar racking systems are an innovative solution for commercial flat rooftops, designed to secure solar panels without the need for drilling or roof penetrations. Instead of physically attaching to the roof, these systems use weights to hold the solar array in place, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks and preserves your roof’s warranty. This approach provides a secure, reliable installation while avoiding the potential complications
associated with traditional racking systems.
Since the Panels are not physically attached to the roof, they can be moved without hassle if roof maintenance is required, or if new equipment like an HVAC unit needs to be installed.
Ballasted systems can also contribute to the longevity of your roof. By absorbing harmful UV rays, the panels reduce roof degradation and can extend its lifespan.
