When We Do It

The solar project life cycle encompasses five major stages. Each stage presents unique challenges, but stakeholders often overlook the value of continuity of knowledge that bridges all five project stages. That is where our OE team comes in.

  • Early Issues are expensive to fix at later stages.
  • Mistakes should be made on paper, not in the field.
  • A high quality OE has technical and financial considerations in mind from day one.
Step 1

Development

  • Land Development
  • Preliminary Design
  • Finance Review
Step 2

Design

  • 30% Design
  • 60% Design
  • 90% Design
Step 3
