Project examples

Four buildings. Four different NOI answers.

See exactly how we read a tariff, size a system and model the money: a warehouse, a build-to-rent community, a retail plaza and a multifamily portfolio. One gets solar and storage, one solar only, one storage only, and one is underwritten as a portfolio.

Every figure is modeled from published tariff structures and typical site facts, and labeled as modeled. Owner-approved case studies will join this page as each owner signs off in writing.

  • A written initial review within 2 business days.
  • Free, including when the answer is no.
  • Named people on your project, with direct contact.
Illustrative examples · Modeled, not customer results

Pick the building that looks most like yours.

Photography is representative of the site type, not a customer property.

Modeled annual benefit: $142,500 (modeled, not a customer result)

Client type
Industrial / warehouse, single meter
Location
Bloomfield, CT
Problem
A single-meter warehouse whose bill carries a real demand charge, with steady daytime load and a large, uninterrupted roof.
Installed scope
620 kW-DC rooftop solar + 250 kW / 500 kWh storage

Modeled annual benefit: $147,200 (modeled, not a customer result)

Client type
Build-to-rent community, 148 homes plus amenity meter
Location
Ocala, FL
Problem
A rental community whose addressable load is the amenity and common-area meter, on a rate with no demand charge.
Installed scope
1.1 MW-DC distributed rooftop solar, no storage

Modeled annual benefit: $45,000 (modeled, not a customer result)

Client type
Neighborhood retail plaza, grocery anchor
Location
Cranston, RI
Problem
An anchor tenant's compressors set a sharp, repeatable afternoon peak, and the roof is too new and too full of equipment for solar.
Installed scope
300 kW / 600 kWh storage, no solar

Modeled annual benefit: $83,200 (modeled, not a customer result)

Client type
Six-building multifamily portfolio, common-area meters
Location
Worcester, MA
Problem
Six buildings whose demand charges sit on the common-area and central-plant meters, with tenant meters outside scope.
Installed scope
480 kW-DC rooftop solar across six buildings; storage scope pending interval data

Modeled figures, rounded. Not operating results, not customer data, not a quote.

What you get in each one

The same four steps we run on your building.

  1. 01

    The tariff read

    Which rate schedule the meter is on, what the demand and time-of-use determinants are, and whether the bill has anything worth attacking.

  2. 02

    The site constraints

    Roof, structure, interconnection, metering and the things that rule options out before anyone draws a panel.

  3. 03

    The money, line by line

    Bill savings and program payments modeled as separate lines with separate risk, with the basis stated under each figure.

  4. 04

    Risks and timeline

    What can delay or disqualify the project, and the stages from written review to commissioning.

Your building, same test

How we underwrite

The case has to hold before anything is built.

01

Tariff before technology

We start from the rate schedule and the demand determinants on the bill. If the tariff has no meaningful demand component and no time differential, storage economics are weak and we say so before designing anything.

02

Measured load, not averages

System sizing uses the site's own consumption and peak behaviour: interval data where the utility supplies it, billed determinants where it does not. We do not size from national benchmarks.

03

Savings and program payments kept apart

Bill savings and program payments are two different lines with different risk. Program participation depends on eligibility and current rules, which we date and cite.

04

Stated assumptions, stated sensitivities

Every operating case names its assumptions, from escalation and dispatch performance to degradation and utility approval timing, and shows what happens when they move.

05

Modeled is labeled modeled

Nothing here is described as actual, verified or paid performance. Measured results are reported only after a system is operating, with a measurement period attached.

What counts as proof here

Every future reference carries one of four labels.

So you can see exactly what each example proves, and who did the work.

NOI project

NOI was directly contracted into the project. The card states NOI's exact role alongside the delivery partner's and the technology provider's.

Delivered through the NOI partner network

NOI and named partner organizations delivered the project jointly. Each responsibility is named. We never write "NOI installed" unless NOI was the installer of record.

Partner reference project

A current NOI delivery partner completed the project independently. It shows experience available through the network and is never rolled into an NOI total.

Manufacturer case

A manufacturer's published customer case, attributed to the manufacturer and linked to its original source.

What we need before a case study is published
  • Written permission to use the organization's name and logo on this site
  • Written permission or partner attestation for the project and customer reference
  • Confirmation of photo ownership and web-marketing usage rights
  • The exact roles: developer, EPC, installer of record, engineer, financier, equipment supplier, operator, program aggregator
  • Project location at the approved level of specificity
  • System type, capacity, commissioning status and commissioning date
  • The source and measurement period for any savings, production, uptime, dispatch, revenue or emissions result
  • Written approval for any testimonial and named spokesperson
  • Confirmation of whether NOI participated in the project or is presenting it as partner experience

Until a packet is complete we show only a partner’s verified capability profile and a link to its own website, on the partners page.
