RAM already runs one of the best ancillary-revenue playbooks in multifamily. NOI adds a new line to it — solar & energy systems on your communities, funded and operated entirely by us, with your owners collecting a share of the revenue. No capital outlay. No operational lift for your teams.
| Rollout scenario | Communities | Est. owner revenue / yr | Over 20 yrs* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot — flagship assets | 10 | $0.40M | $8.0M |
| Phase 1 — 25% of portfolio | ~80 | $3.2M | $64M |
| Half portfolio | ~161 | $6.4M | $129M |
| Full portfolio | ~322 | $12.9M | $258M |
Garden-style Southeast communities — large low-slope roofs, carports and open surface parking — are ideal solar candidates. A representative set from your managed portfolio:
| Community | Location | Units | Est. owner revenue / yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greystone at Oakland #1 in GA for online reputation | Leesburg, GA | 288 | ~$40,000 |
| Pembroke Square at Peabody Place #1 in TN | Memphis, TN | — | ~$40,000 |
| Greystone Pointe Auburn | Auburn, AL | — | ~$40,000 |
| Vintage Lake Mary Class-A, Orlando metro | Lake Mary, FL | — | ~$40,000 |
| Vintage Cleveland | Cleveland, TN | — | ~$40,000 |
| Rolling Mill Hill | Nashville, TN | — | ~$40,000 |
You already roll out national vendor programs (Valet Living, TheGuarantors, PetScreening). This is the same motion — one program, portfolio-wide — but it generates revenue instead of a resident fee.
NOI funds, installs, owns, insures and operates every system. Owners contribute roof and land they aren't monetizing today, and collect a revenue share.
No incumbent solar program to unwind. We stand up the pilot, prove the per-community number, then scale on your timeline.
As a third-party manager, you champion and coordinate; NOI handles the owner agreements and every technical detail. You look good to the assets you steward.
The investment tax credit that underwrites this economics is on the clock. Projects need to be moving well ahead of the 2027 cutoff to lock the current value. Starting a RAM pilot now protects the returns that make the portfolio-wide number possible — waiting shrinks it.
Give us 3–5 communities and we'll come back with a per-roof system size, the owner revenue share, and a one-page pilot plan — no obligation.
