With expertise in both small-scale and multi-megawatt projects, we deliver systems that provide 20+ years of predictable energy savings and environmental benefits.
Energy Storage
Our battery energy storage solutions optimize solar power usage by storing excess energy for peak demand periods or grid outages. These systems reduce utility demand charges by up to 70% while enhancing energy independence. We integrate advanced storage technologies that work seamlessly with existing solar installations to maximize financial and operational benefits.
Operations & Maintenance
We provide comprehensive maintenance and monitoring services for solar and storage systems. Our offerings include preventative maintenance, performance monitoring, incentive management, and corrective repairs. With a dedicated team of technicians and cloud-based monitoring tools, we ensure optimal system performance and maximize return on renewable energy investments for clients nationwide.
EV Charging Stations
We develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure for commercial properties, leveraging state incentives like MassEVIP to offset installation costs. Our solutions future-proof properties while supporting sustainability goals. By integrating charging stations with solar systems, we create synergistic energy solutions that reduce operating expenses and enhance property value.
Solar Canopies
Our solar canopy systems transform parking areas into energy-generating assets while providing vehicle shade. These structures reduce electricity costs, enhance property aesthetics, and qualify for special state incentives. Designed to avoid rooftop modifications, they offer a dual-purpose solution that improves safety through integrated lighting while significantly lowering carbon footprints.
