Competent guidance every step of the way.

When embarking on a commercial or utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) project, we consider every factor. How will your site accommodate the expected solar capacity? What Conditions of Approval or unique geographical requirements will we need to complete the solar project?

Your utility and commercial solar specialists.

We focus solely on commercial and utility solar facilities so we can excel at the highly technical details and complex regulatory needs these types of projects require. Our in-house professional engineers, designers and analysts are experts at tackling technical details, and working proactively with your team.

Project Funding

We assist in securing funding for the project through one of our project funding sources to make sure that your project construction budget is met. Working with our specialized financial team to provide a step by step process to assist in meeting in all project funding requirements.

Development Planning

Site Visualization

Our designers provide preliminary solar array layouts for enhanced visualization with satellite imagery, 3-D renderings, and glint and glare studies.

Energy Guarantees

Our extensive experience with Energy Production Modeling and Verification for investors, financial institutions, and developers means you can rest assured. With our in-house PV System Monitoring and Maintenance program, we are constantly refining our PV system modeling standards to ensure a thorough assessment of your project. Solar facility owners and financing entities appreciate our experience with Energy Production Modeling and our ability to adjust for weather data and equipment.

Plant Optimization

For utility-scale projects we offer complete equipment-specific, and site-specific plant optimization for achieving the solar electric facility’s lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).

Civil Planning

Civil planning is critical for free-field ground mount solar projects. Our in-house civil team is well-versed in the preliminary civil planning, geotechnical studies, hydrology studies, pile-pull testing, grading plans, and the overall Conditional Use Permit application process.

Solar Rooftops

Our engineers have designed commercial rooftop solar projects worldwide. We can quantitatively determine if your roof has the structural capacity for a PV array. Our familiarity with various roof structures and roof membranes helps your projects achieve an efficient design solution.

Electrical Design

Our arc-flash certified electricians and expert engineering team will examine the existing electrical infrastructure to determine interconnection costs and options. We can help with preliminary interconnection agreements, single line diagrams, and regulatory ISO/RTO filings to accelerate your project.
