Alternative Energy That Drives NOI and Asset Value
Solar and roof coatings do the same job two ways: they cut operating costs and reposition the asset for growth. Commercial only.
For commercial property owners, solar and roof coatings do the same job two ways: they cut operating costs and reposition the asset for growth. Global Building Solutions installs commercial solar and battery storage that drive net operating income, and through Kings Coating applies flat-roof coatings that extend roof life at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Commercial only, executed under one license.
Energy as an asset strategy
Increased NOI
Lower energy expense flows to net operating income.
Enhanced NPV
Long-term savings improve the investment's value and appeal to buyers.
Asset repositioning
Hit sustainability goals, attract eco-conscious tenants.
Tax incentives
The 30% federal Investment Tax Credit and MACRS accelerated depreciation can offset 40 to 50 percent of system cost in the first year.
Financial modeling
Comprehensive projections on NOI, NPV, and payback.
Commercial only
GBS provides commercial solar only, not residential.
Commercial roofing and coatings
Flat-roof restoration and white siliconized and acrylic coating systems that seal leaks, reflect heat, and extend roof life by 10 to 20 years, at roughly half the cost of a new roof and without a tear-off. Cool-roof and Title 24-aligned, applied over the existing roof with little to no disruption below.
Through Kings Coating, GBS turns a roof from a liability into an ESG-friendly capital upgrade: low-waste systems certified for up to 20 years, solar-ready assemblies, and a CapEx model that preserves maintenance budgets while improving NOI and asset value. Ideal for REITs, multifamily and mixed-use portfolios facing warranty expirations, and buildings needing Title 24 compliance or solar readiness.
Solar credits and depreciation that offset the cost
The federal Investment Tax Credit covers a large share of a commercial solar project, a dollar-for-dollar reduction that, combined with MACRS accelerated depreciation, can offset a significant portion of total system cost in the first year. Incentive levels and eligibility rules shift with federal policy, so the economics are strongest when a project is planned early. We model the current credit, depreciation, and any equipment-sourcing requirements for your specific property before you commit.
30% Investment Tax Credit
A dollar-for-dollar credit on the full system. Unused credits can roll forward up to 20 years.
MACRS depreciation
Accelerated depreciation delivers 40% or more of the deduction in the first year.
Section 179D
Additional energy-efficiency deductions where applicable to the property.
184 kW solar plus 60 kW battery backup
Figures reflect one recent project and will vary by property. GBS is not a licensed tax or financial advisor; review any model with your CPA or financial counsel.
Who it's for
Commercial property owners, managers, REITs, developers, and asset managers focused on operating costs, NOI, energy resilience, and long-term property value.
How it works
Questions
Does commercial solar raise net operating income?
Yes. Lower energy expense improves NOI, and long-term savings improve NPV. Incentives like the ITC and MACRS depreciation further offset cost. The 30% Investment Tax Credit and MACRS depreciation can offset 40 to 50 percent of system cost in the first year.
What is the payback period on commercial solar?
It depends on energy use, system size, and incentives. Our financial modeling projects NOI, NPV, and payback before you commit. Payback is often in the 3 to 5 year range, and a recent project reached ROI in 3.8 years.
Is a roof coating cheaper than a full roof replacement?
In many cases, yes. A restoration coating can extend an existing roof's life at a fraction of the cost and downtime of a tear-off, extending a roof 10 to 20 years at roughly half the cost.
Do you install residential solar?
No. GBS provides commercial solar only.
Real stories, real savings
I paid $0 down and my electric bill dropped from $400 a month to under $30. The battery saved us during three outages last summer.
GBS was professional, fast, and handled everything. I didn't lift a finger. The tax credit alone made it worth it.
