Most commercial electricity services are billed by the utility both for the power used and the peak electric loads each month. Solar cannot reliably reduce peak loads. We have lengthy experience in installing equipment that reliably reduces peak load as well as usage.
Therefore, we combine solar projects with energy efficiency equipment that reduces both loads and usage.
There are a variety of other aspects to make a commercial project economically compelling, from potentially changing rate categories to local, state and federal incentives. We will advise you on how to make your prospective solar project make economic sense by yielding a compelling payback period. Or, if you are financing the project, stay cash flow positive.
The economics of a commercial building project are optimized by this combining of technologies.

You can have the same lifestyle as you’ve enjoyed with much smaller utility bills. Certain energy efficiency technologies often yield more savings per dollar of cost than solar. Combining solar plus these technologies yields optimal results.
Utilities are changing the way they charge for power. Sometimes they charge for a base amount of power used, then a higher rate for any power above that base amount. Other utilities charge based on when you use power, where you pay less during night and mornings but a much higher rate during the peak load time on the Grid. In Colorado this change is happening right now. Electric bills are going to increase significantly with the change. Including batteries with smart software is the solution.
For no charge we offer help to homeowners who have been taken advantage of, where they have bad outcome from a solar project. When possible, we will repair solar systems and interconnect them to the electric Grid, getting them turned on and producing power. This is possible for most systems that are not owned by third party operators like leasing companies. When a third party owns a system and when the homeowner is not satisfied, we’ll work to intervene on behalf of the homeowner, for a positive outcome.
We will provide accurate information that can be used by pretty anyone. This involves the launch of a new system for quantifying emissions and putting them on a numerical scale. We call this the Carson Scale, to honor Rachel Carson, author of the first great environmental book Silent Spring. Watch for the launch, on this site.
