Projects and evidence
Property performance.
Not empty promises.
We present assumptions openly and distinguish illustrative financial models from historic project information and independently verified operating results.
Illustrative investment case
What a 5,000 m² shopping centre could look like.
Illustrative chargeable roof area
5,000 m²
Illustrative monthly roof rental
R40,000
Illustrative annual roof rental
R480,000
Based on an assumed chargeable roof area of 5,000 m² at R8/m² per month. For an actual centre, available rooftop area, funding, roof condition and tenant load may change the result significantly.
Recent project
Turning unused roof space into an income-producing property asset.
Hilton Siding Shopping Centre
Lightpath structured a hybrid solar PV and battery energy storage project using a rooftop rental model. The shopping centre receives contracted rental income for the use of its roof space — with no capital investment required.
- Additional recurring rental income from previously unused roof space
- Improved energy resilience through hybrid solar PV and battery storage
- Zero capital investment required from the property owner
- Estimated ±R10 million in additional capitalised property value
Location
Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal
Property type

Technology
Hybrid Solar PV + BESS
Model
Rooftop Rental
Estimated capitalised property value created
±R10 million
Based on additional net rental income capitalised under income-capitalisation methodology.
Evidence before promises
From a financial illustration to a verified case study.
Every property has a different roof, lease structure, electricity supply tariff and demand profile. For that reason, Lightpath separates design assumptions from measured operational results and provides property-specific investment assessments rather than generic savings claims.
Measured baseline
Utility bills, interval demand, tenant metering and actual property operating information.
Agreed structure
Clear rental, funding, service scope and operating responsibilities before implementation.
Verified outcome
Documented income, electricity performance and property impact where sufficient evidence is available.
Historic project details and client references may be made available in appropriate circumstances subject to permissions, verification and confidentiality obligations.
The property first. Energy second.
