Everyone talks about solar panels for electricity—but did you know that over half of industrial energy demand is for heat? Solar thermal technology answers this need directly, delivering clean, reliable heat for factories, buildings, and processes. At Rackam, we turn sunlight into industrial heat—and now, we're offering investors the opportunity to own and profit from this untapped market.
By financing and owning a solar heating system, you can not only contribute to a greener future but also secure a reliable income stream for years to come through our Heat Supply Contracts.
Wether you are an impact investor, a private equity firm or a real estate developer, as an investor, you own the system and control the heat supply contract. You’ll collaborate with us on site selection and system integration while benefiting from a structured agreement.
The investor owns a standalone legal entity that holds the solar system and signs the heat supply contract. This separates liabilities and allows for easier project finance.
Before the system is built, a client will sign a long-term heat supply agreement to purchase heat from the system. This creates a predictable and reliable revenue stream for you, with payments made by the client for the heat consumed over the course of the contract.
Typically, the heat supply agreements last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, providing you with long-term stability and a consistent cash flow from the heat payments.
The thermal energy supply agreements are inflation-adjusted.
While you own the system, our team takes care of everything related to installation, maintenance, and service. You’ll have full visibility into the system’s performance, and we’ll ensure everything operates smoothly so that you can focus on the financial aspect of your investment.
Being constantly in contact with potential customers, we have a list of clients interested in paying for solar heat.
Here is what can be expected in terms of financial performance for a typical 1 MW installation situated in an average sunny region.
