Roof Leases with Solar Developers

Anyone ever do a roof lease with a solar developer, where they just collect rent on the roof?
If so,
1) Was it a PPA or community solar deal?
2) were you able to collect any of the SRECs
3) any problems obtaining an SNDA (if applicable), or did you have to guarantee any kind of revenue?
Been trying to dive into some of these solar deals, and getting into a whole new realm of complexities and considerations,so any insight would be appreciated. This is also primarily for REITs, so there’s the good/bad income consideration as well
Would appreciate any feedback!!

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, diving into roof leases with solar developers can indeed introduce you to a new realm of complexities. While the context provided doesn't specifically mention roof leases, it does touch on renewable energy transactions and the considerations involved in such deals. Here's what can be inferred:

1) PPA or Community Solar Deal: The context doesn't specify roof leases, but in renewable energy transactions, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are common. A PPA is a contract between a developer and a customer where the customer agrees to purchase power generated by the solar installation. Community solar deals involve multiple customers, often in a single community, who share the benefits of a solar farm.

2) SRECs: Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) are not directly mentioned in the context. However, SRECs are typically generated from solar projects and can be an important revenue stream. Whether a REIT can collect SRECs would depend on the terms of the lease or PPA agreement with the solar developer.

3) SNDA and Revenue Guarantees: The context does not provide information on Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreements (SNDAs) or revenue guarantees in the realm of solar deals. SNDAs are real estate documents that ensure the lease remains intact in case the property is foreclosed upon. Revenue guarantees might be part of negotiations but would be specific to individual agreements.

For REITs, the classification of income from these deals as either "good" or "bad" would be important due to tax considerations and the need to maintain REIT status by ensuring most income is derived from real estate-related sources.

If you're considering such a deal, it would be wise to consult with legal and financial experts who specialize in renewable energy projects and REIT regulations to navigate these complexities.
