Problem
Landlords often face challenges in recouping solar energy investments in multi-tenant properties due to difficulties in accurately billing tenants for their individual solar energy consumption. Traditional billing methods do not differentiate between solar and grid energy, leading to inaccurate cost allocation and discouraging solar adoption.
Solution
Wand Solar offers a software platform that enables landlords to directly bill tenants for their solar energy consumption, integrating both solar and utility energy into a single, transparent invoice. The platform measures tenants' energy consumption and calculates bills based on electricity rates, ensuring fair and transparent billing practices. By accurately splitting the bill between the landlord (for solar energy) and the utility provider, Wand Solar maximizes the return on solar investments while promoting energy efficiency and tenant satisfaction. The system requires no additional hardware, leveraging existing solar panel installations to generate income for property owners.
Target Audience
Wand Solar targets landlords and property managers of single-family and multi-family properties equipped with solar panels, as well as real estate investors looking to increase net operating income.
