Smart Process for Large Commercial & Government

STEP 1: CONSULT & PRE-ENGINEER

Site Evaluation, Financial Analysis and Presale Engineering

To help you determine if solar power is the right investment for your business or government facility, we first perform a comprehensive analysis of the electrical use of your facility and your utility service provider’s rate structure and pricing policies. We then evaluate your site’s physical characteristics to determine if solar is a viable option for the facility.

Our certified and licensed engineers will design a solar electric system customized to your exact needs. We will review your building plans with you, take precise measurements, and conduct thorough site visits to determine solar system location and all other solar installation details.

If after the financial analysis and proposal is complete you decide that a solar power system makes sense for your facility, we will then move forward with final system design and engineering. more>>

STEP 2: DESIGN & ENGINEER

Leading-Edge Solar Technology, Tailored to Your Facility

Once you’ve made the decision to go solar with REC Solar, our commercial engineers will conduct final structural review, prepare construction documents for the building and electrical permits, and create single-line electrical diagrams for the utility company. This precise work leads to smooth interconnection of your solar system with the utility company at the end of the process. Before going through county permitting departments your facility manager or other designated staff will have the chance to see and approve all plans for the final system design. more>>

STEP 3: FINANCE & ADMINISTER

Making Your Solar Investment Smooth and Cost-Effective

We can help you put together a sophisticated, flexible financial package designed meet your specific goals. Options include power purchase agreements (PPAs), individual project financing, capital financing, and operating leases.

By using one or more of these financing options, combined with rebates, tax credits and accelerated depreciation, we can help you structure a financial package where in many cases the reduction in your annual energy expense will exceed your annual solar system financing costs, creating a positive cash flow from day one.

In every state where we operate, we are experts in all the bureaucratic elements of commercial solar power – rules and regulations, rebates and tax credits, paperwork and utility certifications. We have a department dedicated to making these necessary complexities simple for our clients. more>>
