For many clients, our efforts begin with a feasibility analysis and due diligence research. Think of us as your smarts and parts. We work closely with Project Owners, Architects, Electricians, and other design teams to understand the project's unique needs and use this information to craft tailored strategies to achieve your project objectives. In cases like these, we are involved early in the electrical design stage working to provide an initial budget estimate, detailed scope of work, and single-line diagram. These reports can be shared with all necessary teams with the intent to communicate a clear project roadmap.

Many clients connect with us when they have everything they need, they just need someone to put all the pieces together. Our efforts begin with a completeness review of the project details, ensuring that all required elements are provided.

Some clients find us when they are at a standstill. The intricacies of solar and energy storage i.e. point of interconnections, backup load calculations, project feasibility, etc.. can be time consuming.
