The right crew on the roof.

A commercial solar and storage project is permitted by a county, inspected by a city, and interconnected by a specific utility with its own engineers and its own paperwork. A crew that has done a dozen projects in that jurisdiction knows which inspector wants what, which utility reviewer is slow, and where the local fire marshal stands on battery siting. A national contractor flying in a crew learns all of that on your project.

We keep a bench of regional EPCs — engineering, procurement and construction firms — that we have vetted for licensing, insurance, safety record, storage experience and financial health. For each project we invite the two or three that fit the building and the state, and they bid on the same specification.
