The checklist outlines the key physical and electrical characteristics that influence solar feasibility across rooftops, parking lots, and ground-mounted sites. Criteria include available square footage, roof condition and remaining useful life, structural capacity, and long-term site control. The resource also identifies scenarios where energy storage may enhance project economics.

“For commercial property owners, site readiness and timing are connected,” said Matt Shortsleeve, SVP of Policy & Marketing at Solect Energy. “With the federal Investment Tax Credit sunsetting, projects that can move forward using safe-harbored equipment can preserve significantly more value. That makes early site evaluation a critical step for owners considering solar site leases or long-term energy investments.”

The Property Checklist is intended as a starting point. Solect works with property owners to conduct detailed site reviews, evaluate development pathways, and align solar projects with long-term asset and capital planning strategies.
