Quick FAQ
How do you estimate payouts?
Payouts follow your provided table (we use midpoints of each range) and interpolate between 20 kW, 100 kW, 500 kW, and 2,000 kW. Where needed, we convert energy (kWh) using Arizona-typical production to keep “Homes Powered” consistent.
What does CO₂ Offset / Year mean?
The estimated metric tons (t) of CO₂ emissions avoided each year by producing clean electricity instead of grid average. Your table midpoints are used at key sizes; values between those sizes are blended smoothly.
What is Homes Powered / Month?
An intuitive framing: we take yearly energy from the selected kW, divide by 12, then compare to a typical U.S. home’s annual usage (~12,000 kWh/year). It’s approximate and meant for scale—not a literal service plan.
Do I pay for installation or maintenance?
No. Vetted developers fund and maintain the system; you receive lease payments.
What if my roof needs repairs?
Developers assess structural readiness and coordinate upgrades where needed before any installation.
Who owns the solar equipment?
The developer retains ownership of the solar system. You lease your rooftop space and receive monthly payments while they handle all equipment, maintenance, and performance monitoring.
What types of commercial properties qualify?
Warehouses, retail centers, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, logistics hubs, and other commercial structures with suitable roof space and structural capacity.
How long are typical lease agreements?
Standard agreements range from 20-25 years, providing long-term passive income. Terms vary based on system size, location, and developer requirements.
What is RoofStack's role in the transaction?
We're a neutral marketplace connecting property owners with vetted solar developers. We don't install systems or handle contracts—we facilitate introductions and provide analysis tools.
Are there any upfront costs to list my property?
No. Listing and analysis are free for property owners. You only engage financially when you accept a developer's offer and enter into a lease agreement.
How are developers vetted?
All developers undergo verification of licensing, insurance, project history, and financial stability before joining the platform. We only work with established professionals.
All figures shown are approximate and provided for informational planning only. They do not constitute a quote, guarantee, or offer of service. Actual results vary by irradiance, shading, roof condition, equipment, utility rates, interconnection, and final contract terms.
View calculation assumptions
- Method: Values match the midpoints of the provided ranges at 20 kW, 100 kW, 500 kW, and 2,000 kW and are linearly interpolated between those anchor sizes.
- Payout proxy: Based on an internal $/kWh lease/PPA proxy; displayed as monthly payout.
- Production: 1,750 kWh per kW per year (Arizona typical) for “Homes Powered”.
- CO₂ factor: 0.52 kg CO₂ per kWh (for offset conversion).
- Home usage: ~12,000 kWh/year/home (used to show “Homes Powered / Month”).
- Trees equivalent: ~21 kg CO₂ sequestered per tree per year.
- Oil equivalent: ~1,700 kWh per barrel of oil.
