Investing in large scale solar + energy storage projects is a big commitment, and ensuring they perform as expected is essential. That's where an Owner's Engineer steps in—your dedicated partner in protecting your assets and maximizing long-term value.
Here are some of the ways we safeguard your projects:
✔️ Acting as your technical advocate, ensuring quality and performance.
✔️ Reviewing submittals and contract terms to catch issues early.
✔️ Providing oversight at key stages—from mid-development to final completion.
Whether it's optimizing designs, navigating RFIs, or ensuring construction aligns with your expectations, we're here to make sure your investment is built to last and performs as promised.

It's a fairly new portion of the solar life cycle. Generally we’re very similar to an independent engineer. We're frequently behind the scenes a little bit more. We're not the designers, but our role is there, to act on the owner's behalf. We're a technical sounding board, resource. We help answer RFIs, review submittals. Generally, monitor the contract terms. Our goal is to ensure that the owner is delivered a project at the end of the day that meets what they expected to buy.
We get involved at various stages depending on who the client is. Often were hired by developers that are looking for some kind of some kind of optimization efforts, modeling services, things of that nature. So sometimes we're touching projects, at the very preliminary stages. If we're hired by an owner, usually they have already gone through development life cycle, and we're well into
the engineering process. There's already usually some kind of interconnection application in place. So the project's real from a utility perspective and then that owner is trying to get online. So they'll bring us in before they're submitting for a permit to the AHJ. So we usually get involved in reviewing drawings and submittals. Kind of in a mid development stage. And then we're on until the very end of the project at final completion.
