Rooftop PV on flat roof
Large unobstructed roof area. Strip malls are often the cleanest commercial solar fit by structure.
Solar for Strip Malls
Solar and carport systems for San Diego multi-tenant retail
Strip mall ownership is one of the cleanest fits for commercial solar — large flat roofs, predictable tenant load, and meaningful demand-charge exposure. We design around the building and the tenant mix.

Strip mall fit
One roof, one design, several tenants
Multi-tenant solar design has to address how power is metered, who benefits from the production, and what the property owner gets out of the investment. We do that analysis up front.

Six ways strip-mall solar pays off
02
Solar carports over parking
Production over the customer parking lot doubles as shade. Especially valuable for restaurants and retail.
03
Common-area demand charge
Owner pays for common-area lighting, HVAC, and signage. Battery storage shaves the demand charge that drives the bill.
04
Tenant allocation
Production credit modeling between owner and tenants. Transparent on day one to avoid arguments later.
05
EV charging amenity
EV chargers in the parking lot attract customers and let the owner monetize new revenue. Pairs with carport solar.
06
Long-term service
A 25-year asset deserves a contractor that will still be here in year 10. We service everything we install.
Owner economics done right
01
Production allocation between owner and tenants — clearly modeled
02
Demand-charge math on the common-area meter
03
EV charging as both amenity and rate-arbitrage opportunity
04
A real service relationship for the life of the asset
Conversion
Send the master bill
The common-area meter bill plus a rough idea of the tenant mix is enough to start a real conversation about what solar and storage would do for the property.
