METHODOLOGY
OUR PROCESS
A rigorous, state-by-state evaluation methodology built for organizations with complex, multi-site energy portfolios.
HOW WE EVALUATE OPPORTUNITY
Every community solar engagement begins the same way: with a thorough assessment of your portfolio, your utility relationships, and the specific program landscape in each state where you operate.
We don't apply a one-size-fits-all template. We build a custom opportunity map for each client — identifying which locations qualify, which programs offer the best economics, and what the realistic path to enrollment looks like.
The result is a clear, actionable memo that gives your team everything it needs to make an informed decision.
Portfolio Review
We start by mapping your full footprint — every location, utility account, and state — to understand the scope of opportunity and identify which sites are strong candidates for community solar.
State-by-State Program Analysis
For each eligible state, we assess active programs, available capacity, bill credit structures, subscription terms, and utility-specific rules. This is where deep state expertise matters most.
Savings Modeling
We model projected bill credit value against your current utility rates and load profile — giving you a realistic, conservative estimate of annual savings per location and across your portfolio.
Opportunity Memo Delivery
We deliver a clear, structured memo summarizing findings, ranked opportunities, recommended next steps, and any program-specific considerations your team should know before moving forward.
Enrollment & Ongoing Management
Once you decide to proceed, we handle the full enrollment process and provide ongoing subscription management — monitoring credits, tracking program changes, and optimizing your portfolio over time.
