Actif, LLC is a renewable energy leasing company that installs and subleases solar, battery, and EV charging systems to hotels across the U.S. using an innovative model that requires no out-of-pocket cash from hotel owners.
Actif leases a solar + battery storage system to your hotel.
Rather than a traditional cash payment, the transaction is completed through a structured, non-cash consideration
All equipment is installed, insured, and maintained at no cost to you.
You retain full rights to use the system’s energy to lower your utility bills.
Initial term is 10 years, with an option to renew for another term.
Actif and it’s affiliates provide all property & casualty insurance for the installed system and handles all maintenance at no cost to the hotel.
No upfront capital required
Reduced utility bills—typically $2,000–$5,000/month savings
Battery backup for grid outages
Enhanced marketability (green branding, EV charging)
Peace of mind from a turnkey, professionally managed solution
We evaluate each property to see if the economics work. In general, we prefer properties that can support the standard system size. If your hotel is too small, we’ll let you know upfront.

We evaluate and design a custom solution
You review and sign the lease
Vouchers are issued at signing, and installation begins
Actif or its affiliates retain ownership of the system throughout the lease term. The hotel is granted the right to use the energy produced at no monthly cost in exchange for the room voucher consideration.
The lease is structured as a prepaid agreement for a set term. There are no payments to cancel the lease.
The lease is transferable. During the sale of the hotel, the lease can be assigned to the new owner, who would assume the remaining term and benefits of the system.
No. There are no surprise charges. The only consideration from the hotel is the one-time issuance of vouchers. All permitting, installation, maintenance, insurance, and compliance costs are covered by Actif.
Once the lease is executed and vouchers are received, most installations begin within 30–90 days, depending on utility interconnection, permitting, and procurement timelines.
