Rent Your Roof

An Ausola initiative that guarantees up to 30% reduction of daytime energy usage with no lock-in contracts.

WE PAY FOR THE SOLAR. YOU GET THE SAVINGS.

Rent Your Roof (RYR) provides solar to commercial clients with zero upfront cost to the tenant or landlord and guarantees a 30% saving on daytime energy charges to the tenant. Ausola covers the upfront cost of RYR solar system installations up to 100kW and recoups these by selling the solar-produced energy back to the tenant, 30% cheaper than the power purchased from their energy provider. Unlike Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), our clients get larger savings with no lock-in contracts. All we do is simply lock in the per kW charge for the term of the tenant’s lease to save them money.

BENEFITS FOR THE TENANT

BENEFITS FOR THE Landlord

LARGE INSTALLATION COSTS RECOUPED IN TWO YEARS.

For installations over 100kW, Ausola has designed a pay-back program that will see you break even within two years. All you have to do is cover the installation costs and we’ll take care of the rest.

Our pay-back program still guarantees a 30% saving on your current energy charges, as we also reduce your per kW charge in the first two years by a further 15 cents per kW, to make sure you recoup all the upfront costs required for installation of the solar system.

Ausola’s Smart Meter app keeps track of all solar-produced energy and ensures that the exact amount you pay upfront is returned in two years or less, depending on your energy production and usage.

FAQs

Rent Your Roof is an initiative tailored specifically for commercial businesses in various industries that uses the power of solar energy without the burden of upfront costs. Through this initiative, clients can effortlessly transition to clean energy by simply leasing out their roof space. Ausola simply covers the upfront costs of the RYR installation and sells the energy produced back to the client at a 30% reduction from their current energy rates.

Since traditional solar installations generally require upfront costs and long-term commitments, tenants often find themselves at a disadvantage. One significant hurdle preventing businesses from transitioning to solar energy is the common scenario where they lack ownership of the buildings they occupy. Many businesses operate from leased or rented spaces, limiting their ability to make substantial investments in renewable energy infrastructure.

Additionally, short-term leasing options have posed a challenge in the past, as the return on investment (ROI) when paying for solar installations typically requires the tenant to be leasing the premises for a longer period of time, with their break-even point of approximately 5 years.

With Rent Your Roof, this now allows tenants to make the switch to solar without the upfront financial commitment and receive the many benefits including:

  • Reducing the cost of your power bill, which means more money for the business
  • Lock in a guaranteed 30% saving per KW for the term of your lease
  • No upfront costs to you or your landlord
  • No lock-in contracts
  • Only pay for the power you use whether your doors are open or closed

There are many reasons for commercial building owners not wanting to make the switch to solar, which can include initial upfront costs required to invest in clean energy and the time it can take to recoup their investment. This can be coupled with substandard workmanship meaning risks of damaging the roof and/or other structural issues.

Landlords may also be apprehensive about the ongoing maintenance and liability associated with solar panels, as they would bear financial responsibility for any repairs that may be needed. With Ausola’s Rent Your Roof, we guarantee the quality of our equipment and installation, which means there is no risk attached to making the switch to solar.

The incentive behind no upfront costs encourages business owners to embrace commercial solar installations and get the many benefits including:

  • Receiving 10% of what the tenant pays to Ausola
  • You can own your solar system outright after 10 years
  • No upfront costs to you or the tenant
  • 25-year performance warranty

Ausola’s Rent Your Roof has been designed to benefit both the tenant and the landlord respectively. Our high quality installation, quality control and building waterproofing engineering guarantees will put a landlord at ease immediately. Ausola also pays the landlord 10% of what the solar energy generates as well as allowing them to own the equipment after 10 years with no out-of-pocket expenses incurred.   

Being energy brokers, Ausola can reduce non-solar energy charges by up to 20% and lock these prices in for the term of your lease.

With the Federal Government grants introduced on 1 July 2025, we can tailor a battery and solar package that includes up to 50kW of batteries to help eliminate your night-time usage. What we do at Ausola, is a full analysis of your bill and give you a true understanding of what solar system size you need and whether batteries are fit for your business.
