Tenants: Reduce Your Exposure to Rising Electricity Costs

Luminia, in partnership with Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), developed the Solar Plus Business (SPB) program to help commercial tenants unlock energy savings through onsite solar + battery storage or standalone battery storage.

Why Acting Now Matters
Commercial electricity rates increased 79.5% between 2018 and early 2026, representing a 7.6% compound annual increase. As utility costs continue to fluctuate, budgeting for energy becomes increasingly difficult. Solar Plus Business helps remove uncertainty by limiting annual rate increases to just 1%, giving your business greater cost predictability over the long term.
Solar Plus Business Annual Savings Analysis
Example based on 60,000 sq. ft. industrial property. Actual results may vary.
SPB covers ~60% of the building’s total electricity needs. The remaining ~40% continues at utility rates and is not reflected in this graph. Cumulative benefits calculated by comparing the SPB 1.0% annual escalator to a conservative 4.0% estimate of annual utility rate increase.
Estimates only.
What this Looks Like in Practice
60,000 sq. ft. industrial property. Actual results may vary.
A 500 kW rooftop solar system paired with 500 kWh battery storage supplies approximately 60% of the property’s electricity, while the remaining electricity continues to be supplied by CEA.
Solar: 500 kW Storage: 500 kWh battery
Energy supplied:
~60% of total electricity usage
Savings estimates compare the Solar Plus Business rate’s 1% annual escalator with a projected utility rate escalation of 4% annually. Future utility rates are unknown and may be higher or lower than this assumption.
Year 1 Energy Savings:
25-Year Term Energy Savings:
Savings grow each year as energy rates rise vs. fixed 1% escalator.
