💰 Utility Cost Recovery

100% of utility costs recovered from tenants

Before Blueline, these costs were absorbed as operating expenses. Now every dollar is tracked, billed, and collected—automatically.

⏱️ Labor Elimination

17+ weeks of full-time work automated away annually

Manual meter reading, data entry, TOU calculations, demand charge computation, bill generation, and QC—all eliminated. Staff now focuses on higher-value property management activities.

📈 Asset Value Impact

$11M+ increase in portfolio valuation

Recovered NOI divided by cap rate = direct asset value creation. Utility cost recovery isn't just expense reduction—it's wealth building.

📊 5-Year Projection

$3M+ cumulative value over 5 years

With California utility rates increasing 5-7% annually, the value of accurate cost recovery compounds every year. Year 5 value exceeds Year 1 by 20%+.

Solar Recovery

On-Site Solar Revenue Recovery

Same portfolio—capturing solar value with revenue-grade metering, not inverter APIs

314 MWh Annual Solar Production
57% Site Electricity from Solar
$112K+ /yr Solar Value Recovered

☀️ Why This Matters

Most solar billing platforms pull data from inverter APIs—fragile connections that break, throttle, or change pricing. We meter solar production with the same revenue-grade hardware we use for grid electricity. Same chain of custody. Same audit defense.

📊 How We Track It

  • Production metered at the source—not estimated from inverter data
  • TOU-aware allocation (solar value varies by when it's generated)
  • Tenant billing reflects actual solar offset, not flat estimates
  • Full documentation for green financing and ESG reporting

The difference: SaaS platforms rent data from inverter manufacturers. We own the measurement from panel to bill.

California Utility Rates Are Complex. We Handle It.

Utility rates change multiple times per year. TOU periods shift by season. Tiered thresholds change. Demand charges require calculations to the minute. Manual tracking is error-prone and expensive.

6.78% Avg annual electric rate increase (SCE, 10-year)
~5% Avg annual water rate increase (CA)
91% SCE rates have nearly doubled since 2014

Why it matters: A 5% rate error on a $500K recovery costs $25,000. As rates increase, precision becomes more valuable every year.

Our Rate Engine Handles:

  • ✓ SCE TOU-GS-3 and all commercial tariffs
  • ✓ Tiered rate structures
  • ✓ Seasonal rate variations
  • ✓ Demand charge calculations (to the minute)
  • ✓ Real-time pricing adjustments
  • ✓ Automatic updates when utilities announce changes
