Project Overview
Champion Villas is an 81-unit multifamily property located in Rapid City, South Dakota. The property owner was looking for ways to increase NOI while also providing value to tenants and reducing the property's environmental impact.
Shine designed and installed a 209 kW solar PV system across multiple rooftops, carefully engineered to maximize energy production in South Dakota's climate. The system was completed in 2022 and has been generating significant returns since installation.
Results
The solar installation at Champion Villas has generated $47,128 in additional NOI annually, representing a significant boost to the property's financial performance. This translates to approximately $582 per unit in increased NOI.
Beyond the financial benefits, the property has reduced its carbon footprint by approximately 295,000 pounds of CO₂ annually, equivalent to planting over 2,200 trees each year.
