Property funds and solar contracting: a response to the specific needs of property owners

November 2024

ESG scoring, increasing legal obligations, financing returns and rising tenant expectations: Property owners are facing ever-increasing challenges. Against this backdrop, Romande Energie's solar contracting programme offers them the opportunity to equip their buildings with solar panels.

How does solar contracting work?
Solar contracting is based on a simple principle: we install our own photovoltaic panels at your company’s site. Within this framework, we take over the complete planning and project realisation, as well as the financing and management of the system.

This offer not only enables you to upgrade your property, but also fulfils the legal requirements and the expectations of your investors and tenants. It also enables the creation of new rental space.

Your unused space as a capital investment
As a property owner, you probably have areas that are suitable for the installation of photovoltaic panels. At Romande Energie, we offer installation on the following surfaces:

  • On a roof
    Turn unused space into a power plant – from 500m2.
  • On a car park
    Use your car park to generate electricity with a solar carport – from 2,000m2.
  • On a greenfield site
    Set up a ground-mounted solar power system on an unused plot of land – from 2,000m2.

Stoneweg: a concrete example

We have realised several projects with Romande Energie and have always greatly appreciated their reliability and their solutions to specific challenges.” Diana Oblak, Managing Director at Stoneweg
