In this insightful discussion, Tarmo talks with Owen Barrett, the entrepreneur behind Shine, a solar startup revolutionizing the multi-family real estate industry.

Owen shares his 8-year journey from finance to becoming "hyper-obsessed" with decarbonizing apartment buildings, ultimately launching Shine in 2023.

Discover the unique challenges of bringing solar to multi-family properties and how Shine's specialized, turnkey approach is finally cracking the code.

From a projected $7 million in revenue this year (up from $500,000 only last year!) and nearly 2,000 units decarbonized, Shine is demonstrating that impact and profit can go hand-in-hand.

Join us to understand how innovation, persistence, and a deep understanding of market needs are driving the adoption of solar in an often-overlooked sector.
