Why Multifamily Solar Matters — And How Shine Is Making It Work
In this episode of Green Disruptors, Megan sits down with Owen, founder and CEO of Shine, a solar company solving one of the most challenging sustainability puzzles — how to economically install onsite solar for multifamily housing.
Owen shares his journey from finance to Yosemite rock climbing to entrepreneurship, and how that path led him to create a niche but highly impactful solution for decarbonizing apartment buildings.
We discuss:
• What makes solar so challenging in multifamily settings
• The “split incentive” problem between owners and tenants
• Shine’s custom software that makes installations — and billing — feasible
• Why 2025 will be turbulent but ultimately advantageous for renewable energy
• The massive addressable market and why Shine stays laser-focused
• The sustainability math — how much carbon impact a single project has
If you care about scaling clean energy, investing with impact, or understanding the business realities behind renewables, this conversation brings the clarity.
