Three ways to add NOI — none of them cost you capital.
Resident billing for BTR and HOA communities, net metering for commercial buildings, and revenue-generating EV chargers. Each one comes with its own economics and its own timeline — we fund the energy system, run the meters and billing, and wire you the margin every month.
Bill residents for clean power. Keep the margin.
We fund and install the energy system on your homes, clubhouses, and canopies, meter every resident individually, and bill them directly. Residents pay less than the utility. You collect the spread as recurring NOI — no capex, no special assessment, no billing staff.
- Individual resident metering
- Every home or unit gets its own meter and its own statement — no house-account guesswork or RUBS allocation fights.
- We do the billing
- Invoicing, autopay, ACH and card collection, dunning, and resident support all run through NOI.
- Resident savings built in
- Rates are set below the local utility, so participation is an easy yes and renewal conversations get easier.
- One contract per portfolio
- Roll multiple communities and phases under a single agreement with consolidated monthly statements.
Revenue per unit, not panels per roof.
Below is a real Tampa property running on NOI today. Residents save roughly 30% versus their previous bill — and the owner adds a five-figure revenue line they didn't have last year.
A 12-unit model lands similarly: about +$148 per unit per month, lifting revenue per unit from $1,850 to $1,998 and adding roughly +$21,312 of annual NOI — with $0 of owner capex.
Utility prices have risen ~4–6% annually for a decade. Your resident rate moves with the market — your cost basis doesn't.
Residents on cheaper power renew at higher rates. We see meaningful retention lift across NOI communities.
An extra five-figure revenue line at typical multifamily cap rates can add six figures to appraised value.
Four steps. We do the heavy lifting on each one.
- 01Assess
Send one recent resident utility bill. We parse the rate, six months of consumption, and the address, then return a no-cost revenue projection per unit, per community, and across the portfolio.
What we need: a PDF or photo of any resident's recent bill.
- 02Install
Our vetted installer partners handle permits, install, and interconnect across homes and amenity buildings. You choose financed (zero capex, revenue starts day one) or owned (higher long-term margin).
Typical timeline: 30–45 days from signed agreement to system live.
- 03Enroll residents
Residents get a magic-link invite showing exactly what they save versus the grid, then enroll in autopay in under two minutes. No account creation, no app download.
Average enrollment: 87% of units in the first 14 days.
- 04Collect
Residents pay by ACH or card. Stripe Connect routes net revenue to your bank monthly, with branded invoices, statements, and a live dashboard of revenue, payments, and exceptions.
First payout typically lands within 30 days of activation.
- ✓Chase residents for payment — Stripe Smart Retries plus our dunning sequence clear about 95% of failed payments automatically.
- ✓Reconcile statements — we issue branded invoices, payout reports, and tax-ready summaries.
- ✓Stay on top of regulation — we maintain compliance with state utility resale and submetering rules per community.
Net metering that turns your roof into an offset engine.
Office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use buildings put the biggest roofs to work. Production flows back through your meter and credits your bill kilowatt-for-kilowatt, cutting operating expense and lifting valuation — without touching your capital budget.
- Bill credits, not guesswork
- Excess generation exports to the grid and returns as credits under your utility's net metering or VNEM tariff.
- OpEx down, NOI up
- Lower utility spend flows straight to net operating income, and at market cap rates that compounds into asset value.
- Single-tenant or multi-meter
- We model whole-building offset, common-area-only, or allocation across multiple tenant meters.
- Interconnection handled
- Utility applications, permitting, engineering, and commissioning are ours to manage end to end.
Every dollar of avoided utility spend is a dollar of NOI.
Net metering economics are simple: the meter runs backwards. On a clubhouse, gatehouse, and maintenance-building portfolio we took a recurring utility line to nearly zero — and at typical cap rates that avoided cost revalues the asset.
Illustrative. Final numbers depend on roof orientation, local utility tariff and net metering rules, building load profile, and financing structure.
Commercial tariffs and demand charges keep climbing. Offsetting kilowatt-hours today hedges every future increase.
Removing a recurring expense line lifts NOI permanently — at a 6% cap rate, $60K a year is roughly $1M of value.
Green-building credentials and lower recovery charges help leasing velocity and renewals.
Four steps. We do the heavy lifting on each one.
- 01Assess
Send twelve months of building utility bills and the address. We model production against your tariff, confirm net metering or VNEM eligibility, and return an offset and savings projection at no cost.
What we need: recent utility bills plus a roof or site plan if you have one.
- 02Engineer & interconnect
We handle structural review, engineering, utility interconnection applications, permitting, and commissioning. You approve one quote and sign two documents.
Interconnection review is the usual long pole — typically 45–90 days.
- 03Energize
The system goes live and production begins flowing through your meter. Credits appear on your utility statement in the first full billing cycle.
Financed or owned — we quote both structures transparently.
- 04Track
Your dashboard shows production, offset kilowatt-hours, avoided cost, and the NOI impact month over month, with statements ready for ownership reporting.
Monitoring, maintenance, and warranty stay with NOI for the system life.
- ✓Manage installer and engineering relationships — we underwrite, schedule, and warranty every install in our partner network.
- ✓Own the utility paperwork — interconnection, tariff selection, and permitting are handled end to end.
- ✓Monitor performance — production shortfalls are our problem to detect and fix, not yours.
Generate revenue from EV chargers on your property.
Parking is an underused asset. We fund, install, and operate networked EV chargers on your lots and garages, set the session pricing, collect from drivers, and pay you a share of every kilowatt-hour delivered — while amenity scores and dwell time go up.
- Funded and operated by NOI
- Hardware, trenching, electrical upgrades, network fees, and warranty support are all on us.
- Revenue per session
- Drivers pay per kWh or per hour. You receive a monthly revenue share instead of an energy bill.
- Pairs with on-site solar
- Charge from your own generation to protect margin and blunt demand charges.
- Amenity and compliance win
- Meets EV-ready codes and green-building requirements while attracting higher-income residents and tenants.
Stalls that used to cost you money now pay you.
A canopy over existing parking does double duty: it generates power and it shades the cars. On a 220-stall community canopy the combination of generation and charging sessions produces a five-figure monthly line to the community.
Illustrative. Actual revenue depends on stall count, driver mix and utilization, session pricing, local tariff, and whether chargers pair with on-site generation.
Charging demand on the property compounds every year as more residents and visitors drive electric.
Session pricing is tuned to demand, so revenue per stall rises as the site gets busier.
Covered parking and charging support higher rents, better retention, and EV-ready code compliance.
Four steps. We do the heavy lifting on each one.
- 01Assess
Share the site plan, stall count, and a recent common-area utility bill. We model driver demand, session pricing, and your revenue share at no cost.
What we need: parking layout plus one common-area utility bill.
- 02Install
We fund and manage trenching, electrical upgrades, canopy structure where applicable, charger hardware, and network commissioning.
Typical timeline: 45–75 days depending on electrical scope.
- 03Activate drivers
Chargers go live on a public network with app and tap-to-pay access. Residents and visitors start sessions with no onboarding from your staff.
Pricing is set with you and tuned as utilization grows.
- 04Collect
Driver payments are collected by NOI and your revenue share is wired monthly, with a dashboard of sessions, kilowatt-hours, uptime, and revenue.
24/7 driver support and uptime monitoring included.
- ✓Support drivers — session issues, refunds, and payment failures route to NOI, never to your leasing office.
- ✓Maintain hardware — uptime monitoring, service calls, and warranty replacements are ours.
- ✓Handle network fees and payment processing — you receive a clean monthly revenue share.
Installers install. Billing tools bill. NOI does both.
Most owners think they have to pick between expensive ownership, a developer who keeps the upside, or stitching together five vendors themselves. NOI replaces all three — and unlike a developer-owned PPA, the recurring revenue line always belongs to you.

Developer PPAs are designed to retire the developer's capital — your residents' payments service their balance sheet, not yours.
NOI is designed around the owner. The system can be financed or owned, but the recurring revenue line always belongs to you.
When the building sells, the NOI line transfers cleanly. PPAs often complicate diligence and reduce buyer appetite.
What owners ask first.
- Who pays for the energy system?
- NOI does. We fund, install, meter, and operate the system. Owners contribute no capex and sign no special assessment.
- How do residents get billed?
- Residents are metered individually and billed through NOI. They pay less than the utility rate, and net revenue is wired to the owner monthly.
- Can EV chargers be added later?
- Yes. Chargers can be added to an existing NOI site or deployed as a standalone revenue program on parking assets.
