Project Overview
Montecito Club is a 308-unit multifamily property located in Arlington, Texas. 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 405 kW solar PV system across multiple rooftops, carefully engineered to maximize energy production in Texas's climate. The system was completed in 2022 and has been generating significant returns since installation.
Results
The solar installation at Montecito Club has generated $117,831 in additional NOI annually, representing a significant boost to the property's financial performance. This translates to approximately $382 per unit in increased NOI.
Beyond the financial benefits, the property has reduced its carbon footprint by approximately 570,000 pounds of CO₂ annually, equivalent to planting over 4,200 trees each year.

Testimonial
“Prior to finding Shine, there was no way to invest in solar for the whole building (common area AND tenant meters). Once we discovered Shine, we've incorporated solar into every deal we underwrite. We now see our roofs as income generating instead of a potential liability.“
