Nayar: I have always been interested in renewable energy and after earning degrees in both electrical engineering and finance, solar provided me an avenue to merge the two tracks.
In addition, I saw a significant need to expand the benefits of solar to more diverse communities. Multifamily housing rooftops are primed for solar development, which can provide value to building owners, reduce energy costs for tenants and oftentimes reduce the building’s tax burden. For square footage that would otherwise go unused, these building owners can establish a consistent revenue stream for up to 25 years in exchange for a leased roof, all the while providing their community with affordable clean energy.
