What are the benefits of leasing factory rooftops for solar panels?
Leasing your factory rooftop for solar installations increases asset value while providing stable rental income. It eliminates investment and maintenance costs, reduces financial burden, and enhances your company's environmental image. The solar panels also help insulate the building, lowering indoor temperatures and reducing air conditioning costs, making it a low-risk, long-term profitable option.
How much rental income can I expect?
Rental income varies based on location, roof condition, and market rates. Key factors include sunlight exposure, roof size, load capacity, and electricity pricing. Typically, rental fees range from NT$ 30–150 per square meter per year, or a 10–20% revenue-sharing model based on power generation. We can also tailor agreements to fit your specific needs.
Will installing a solar power plant damage the waterproofing or structure?
Before construction, we conduct professional structural and waterproofing assessments. During installation, we ensure proper sealing using high-quality waterproofing materials. Our solar systems are built with corrosion-resistant steel by expert teams following standardized procedures, ensuring high-quality installation without any damage to your building.
Are there any extra costs for the landlord?
Typically, there are no additional costs for the landlord. However, if roof reinforcements or waterproofing upgrades are needed, they can either be covered by the owner or deducted from future rental payments. Personal landlords should note that tax implications, including rental income tax and supplemental health insurance contributions, may apply.
Can I lease my rooftop now and buy back the solar plant later?
Yes! We offer flexible options, including lease-to-own models or priority buyback agreements for green electricity. If your company is interested in solar energy but uncertain about self-building, or if you anticipate future green energy needs but don't want to build upfront, we are happy to discuss a tailored partnership.
My factory roof is old and rusted—can I still install solar panels?
If your roof panels show signs of rust or damage, we first assess the structural integrity and waterproofing risks. If the majority of the roof can support solar equipment, we proceed with necessary replacements or reinforcements. Repair costs can be covered through future rental deductions.
If leaks occur after installation, who is responsible?
If leaks occur post-installation, we engage third-party experts to determine the cause. If the leak is due to solar equipment installation, we cover all repair costs. However, if it stems from pre-existing roof aging or unrelated damages, the landlord may need to manage repairs.
If I sell my factory, what happens to the solar lease agreement?
The lease remains valid under Taiwan's property law, meaning it will transfer to the new owner when the factory is sold. Since the lease provides long-term stable rental income, it adds to the property's asset value, making it more attractive to buyers.
Does the lease agreement have to be 20 years?
A 20-year lease period aligns with Taipower’s feed-in tariff program, ensuring stable returns. Solar farms have high upfront costs, and a longer lease term secures investment value while guaranteeing financial benefits for the landlord.
What happens if your company faces financial issues—will rent payments stop?
Solar power plants are legally protected and classified as high-value assets with stable electricity revenue, meaning financial instability of builder won’t affect rental payments. Our lease agreements are certified through notarization from 3rd party, ensuring landlords can enforce rental payments through legal action without needing litigation.
