Value Engineering in Solar + Storage - Why “One-Size-Fits-All” Doesn’t Work
Solar engineering is often seen as a simple exercise of cutting installation costs. In reality, far more is at stake. Value engineering is the process of reducing costs while carefully balancing impacts on quality, performance, and long-term..
Energy storage can be the “Swiss-army knife” of the electricity grid. Reports for more than a decade have demonstrated the value storage can provide. But now that states have moved from piloting energy storage to adopting it at scale, there is a..
The Most Common Carport Electrical Design Mistakes and How EPCs Can Eliminate Them
Solar carports may look deceptively familiar to rooftop or ground mount projects: steel, modules, inverters, conduits. But not so fast! Treating carports that way is one of the most direct paths to rework, delays, and uncomfortable conversations..
Simplify the Complex - Rethinking Standardization for Modern Solar Projects
Owners & developers want long-term performance. EPCs want to get steel in the ground and pass inspections.Between those two priorities lies the real challenge: how much of your project should be standardized, and when does customization pay off?

FAQ's
-
What is an Engineer of Record (EOR) for a solar or energy storage project?
-
The Engineer of Record is the licensed engineering firm that takes professional responsibility for a project's design, producing and stamping the construction documents used for permitting and building. As EOR, Pure Power delivers comprehensive site surveys, power system analysis, precise calculations, and code-compliant, constructible drawing sets. This is the party that stands behind the engineering when a solar or storage project goes to permitting, utility review, and construction.
-
What does Pure Power deliver as Engineer of Record?
-
EOR services include accurate field site surveys, utility-grade power system studies, system optimization, and detailed construction drawing sets developed for permitting, utility review, and construction. The drawings are code-compliant, value-engineered, and risk-mitigated, with clear coordination across disciplines. Pure Power is known throughout the industry for drawings that non-engineer clients and installers can easily understand, which helps avoid procurement mistakes and installation errors.
-
Why are accurate site surveys important for engineer-of-record work?
-
Site surveys collect the field data that design decisions are built on, helping identify constraints early and reduce risk during permitting and construction. Catching site issues up front prevents costly redesigns and change orders later. Pure Power performs site surveys as a core part of its EOR service to ground the design in real conditions.
-
What power system studies does Pure Power perform as EOR?
-
Pure Power provides utility-grade power system studies including load flow, short circuit, protection, and dynamic analysis. These studies support interconnection and grid compliance, ensuring the system will operate safely and meet utility requirements. They're a key part of producing an approvable, buildable design.
-
What types of solar and storage projects can Pure Power serve as Engineer of Record?
-
Pure Power serves as EOR for commercial and industrial (C&I) solar, utility-scale solar, community solar, solar carports, battery energy storage systems (BESS), microgrids, and repowering projects. With 3,400+ completed designs of 100kW and larger, 17,000+ total project touchpoints, and 130+ in-house engineers, the firm brings deep experience to projects of nearly any scale.
