What happens to the solar savings if I rent out my unit?
Depends on the type of system.
For common-area systems, the savings flow through reduced levies whether a unit is owner-occupied or tenanted, so investors still benefit. For shared systems that distribute energy directly to individual units, the savings typically show up on the tenant’s electricity bill rather than the owner’s.
That split incentive is worth factoring into the decision, and how it’s structured should be clearly defined before the system is approved.
