Sunny Spots for Rent | Green Energy News

Sunny Spots for Rent | Green Energy News: "The utility company wants to RENT sunny spots – patches of roof or land – to install small grid-connected solar systems. Duke will own and maintain the systems for their expected life spans of 25 years. The utility company will own the solar generated power too.

The rent payment to property owners will be based on the size of the system installed. Together, connected by the grid, the mini solar systems will create a distributed solar power system. Property owners hosting the systems need to do little more than than sign some paperwork, receive a payment each month, and decide how to spend the newfound cash."
