Track electricity use
See when your site draws the most power and how much of that demand falls during daylight hours.
Where could solar fit on your site?
GreenAxis Ventures helps housing providers, co-op boards, commercial property owners, churches, and public agencies plan solar. We review your electricity use, rooftops, and available land.

Who we serve
- Multifamily & affordable housing
- We work with affordable housing developers, apartment owners, condo associations, and co-op boards. We start by identifying which meters serve individual homes and which cover shared spaces.
- Commercial property owners
- Whether you manage one roof or several buildings, we review each property’s roof space, operating hours, and electricity bills. See the five-building Doreen project.
- Churches & nonprofits
- We look at how your congregation or organization uses its property throughout the week, from weekend services to weekday programs.
- Government & public facilities
- For a municipal office or a fire station operating around the clock, the starting point is the site’s power demand and the roof or land available for an array.
- Schools & community centers
- Class schedules, summer programs, and evening activities all affect when a building uses power. We compare those patterns with the hours its panels could produce electricity.
- Landowners
- For a ground-mounted array, we look at how much land is available, where shade falls, and how the site connects to the grid.
- Residential Solar
- Lewis Martin brings the experience he’s gained across his solar portfolio to homeowners, too. He can help you compare the electricity your household uses with what panels on your roof could produce.
Understand your energy use
Our team works with homeowners and building owners to keep project costs down and make the most of solar. Together, we compare system sizes, installation costs, potential savings, and any incentives you qualify for to see which option makes financial sense for your property.
Find avoidable costs
Compare equipment schedules with the hours your facility is in use to spot avoidable costs.
Measure improvements
Compare energy use before and after a change to see which adjustments make a difference.
