Most real estate owners know solar could add value—but evaluating hundreds of properties, vetting developers, and comparing inconsistent bids takes resources you don't have. Spreadsheets pile up. Opportunities slip. The Lux Engine changes that.
Five steps from evaluation to energization
Prioritize
Screen every asset to find winning roofs
Upload your portfolio and we'll identify which properties have the highest solar potential based on roof size, orientation, shading, utility rates, and incentive eligibility. No more guessing where to start.
Qualify
Validate energy, structure, and constraints
Before any bid goes out, we verify each property's technical readiness: roof condition, structural capacity, utility interconnection, and tenant or operational constraints. You get a clear go/no-go for each site.
Configure
Model every ownership structure
Cash purchase, loan, PPA, or roof lease? We build property-specific financial models for each option so you can compare returns, cash flows, and risk profiles side by side.
Transact
Competitive bids from vetted developers
We invite qualified developers to bid on your projects and present you with levelized, apples-to-apples comparisons. You see exactly where each offer stands—and the spread can be significant. Our data shows average bid variability of 270%.
Deliver
Build, monitor, report
Once contracts are signed, we manage construction timelines, track system performance, and provide reporting for your internal stakeholders. You stay informed without managing the details.
Built by people who've been on your side of the table
Lumen was founded by real estate and energy professionals who saw the same problems you face: opaque pricing, inconsistent developer quality, and no standardized process. The Lux Engine is our answer—technology that creates transparency and leverage for building owners.
