Anchored centers with roofs and parking canopies you are not monetizing.
Grocery-anchored centers, big-box retail, lifestyle centers. Rooftops for solar, parking canopies for solar plus EV, refrigeration and HVAC loads that make peak shaving pencil. Owner earns a new NOI line item without touching capex.
Why this segment fits
Unused surfaces
Rooftops and surface parking sit idle while operating expense keeps climbing.
Refrigeration load
Grocery anchors run refrigeration and HVAC loads that make peak shaving pencil.
EV amenity
Canopy charging serves shoppers and anchors without an owner capital request.
Owner earns income. NOI carries the risk.
NOI Energy designs, finances, builds, owns and operates the on-site solar, battery and EV assets. The owner signs a site license and, at commissioning, begins receiving a monthly NOI payment.
The property or tenants (per the structure chosen at contract) buy energy on site at a discount to the utility rate. NOI Energy monetizes the federal tax credits, depreciation and any state incentives. The owner incurs zero capex, zero debt, and zero O&M obligation for 20+ years.

- 04Final proposal with binding NOI figure + compliance credit
- 05LOI → site license execution → interconnection
- 06Construction: typically 90 to 180 days from permit approval
Four forces stacked against inaction
Regulatory pressures and rate structures reshaping the Northeast energy decision for this segment. Confirm current statute specifics with your tax and legal advisors.
Demand charges commonly represent 30-50% of a Northeast retail center's utility bill.
Canopies pair generation with charging on the same structure and interconnection.
Continuous refrigeration load improves the on-site consumption profile.
We contract master framework agreements across a center portfolio, not one roof at a time.
