Choosing a Solar Installer as a Multi-Property Owner
The installer who's great on your first property may drown on your fifth. Portfolio-scale solar needs a different partner profile.
What matters at portfolio scale
- In-house design + permitting. Not sub-contracted to a rotating cast.
- A dedicated PM per portfolio owner. Not a shared queue.
- Standardized BOM. Same panel, same inverter, same racking across every roof so warranty and O&M stay simple.
- 20-year O&M in-house. Or a clean handoff to a monitoring partner.
Red flags
- Ever-changing panel brands based on "what's in stock."
- No project dashboard.
- Sub-contracted electrical labor without direct oversight.
The NOI angle
NOI runs pre-vetted installer networks by market, standardized on hardware and warranty terms. You get portfolio consistency without having to source, vet, and manage installers yourself.
