Utility Solar Design

Our Utility Solar team is positioned to deliver code-compliant and cost-effective Interconnection Documents, Permit/Construction/As-Built Plan Sets, and design support to Developers, EPCs, Solar Asset Owners, and Utilities & Independent Power Producers (IPPs).
We offer services beyond Electrical where partners require Structural, Civil, Geotechnical, and Environmental Professionals for Rooftop, Shade Structures, and Land/Water-Based Solar PV Systems. We have the expertise and partnerships in Battery Storage to be agnostic to equipment and component selections for AC-Coupled or DC-Coupled Solar + Storage or Stand-alone.
With a Knowledge Bank of Engineers that are in the US and India, our company is able to bring Global Advantages to your Project Scheduling, Budget, Optimization, and Bankability. If Solar Design isn’t required, allow our company to review Plan Sets that have been submitted by Third-Party Engineers by our NABCEP Certified Engineers.

Commercial & Industrial Solar Design

Committed to Excellence

Our NABCEP certified engineers have created multiple pv solar projects surpassing the 200 MW mark all over the United States in the commercial and industrial sector. Quality work and close attention to detail are at the forefront of our priorities. We also have in-house capabilities to design solar carports.

Our reports include a forecast of annual energy generation by the designed system. The system design is based on the annual solar insulation of your area, all possible shading scenarios and your current annual energy consumption in order for our engineers to determine the size of the system needed to offset your annual energy consumption. From our report you will be provided a P50/P95/P99 energy estimate. 

​

In addition to energy production, our designs also include energy storage battery solutions which are vital to a system's ability to continue operation during times of low solar output.
