Zero Investment. Real Savings. Here's Exactly How.

It depends on your priorities. If you want zero operational burden and a single bundled bill, Energy-as-a-Service is usually the fit. If you want to preserve CapEx budgets and keep debt off your balance sheet, Operating Lease. If you want flexibility to upgrade as technology evolves, Lease Hire. If you want to eventually own the assets outright, Lease Purchase. And if you want to buy electricity rather than equipment, a PPA covers solar and battery generation. We walk through all five during the free assessment — no obligation.

We handle it — completely. With EaaS and PPA agreements, all maintenance, repairs, and replacements are included in your monthly fee at no additional charge, ever. For lease structures, we offer comprehensive maintenance packages that bundle the same coverage — so your experience is the same regardless of funding option.

The agreement typically transfers to the new tenant or buyer — often increasing your property's value and appeal. In some cases the agreement can be restructured. We assess this on a case-by-case basis and work to find the best solution for all parties.

Not necessarily. We work with tenants in many situations, particularly for LED and HVAC. For solar and battery, we typically need landlord consent but we handle that conversation on your behalf. Long-term leases (10+ years remaining) are preferred for solar.

Your contract specifies a minimum annual energy production or savings figure. If systems underperform against that benchmark in any given year, Reef credits the difference on your next invoice. The guarantee is legally binding.

You remain a utility customer throughout. For solar, we manage the NEM 3.0 interconnection process with your utility (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E etc.) entirely on your behalf. You continue to receive a utility bill, just a much smaller one.

The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) at 30% applies to solar and battery. California's Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) provides rebates for battery storage. Depending on the funding structure, either Reef, the funder, or you capture these incentives — and we structure the deal so the benefit flows through to lower monthly payments for you.

LED retrofits typically take 1–3 days depending on facility size. Solar and battery systems take 2–4 weeks from permit approval. From signed agreement to operational savings, most projects are complete within 60 days. Larger or more complex sites may take up to 90 days.

Yes. Most EaaS, PPA, and lease agreements include a fair-market buyout option at agreed intervals, or a fixed buyout price at contract end. With a Lease Purchase, you already own the assets at the end of the term — no buyout needed. All options are detailed in your agreement before you sign.
