Seismic activity is a growing concern for solar projects in regions like California, the Pacific Northwest, Utah, Nevada, and even New Jersey. Ground movement can be the deciding factor between a system that passes inspection—or one that fails. At...

Design Decisions Shouldn’t Be Guesswork | At Pure Power, we use SAM simulations early in the process to shape smarter, more profitable solar + storage systems—optimizing inverter loading, minimizing curtailment, and ensuring developers and EPCs hit...

Overheating cables. Faults before PTO. Trench rework. That’s what happens when duct bank design is an afterthought. At Pure Power, we don’t just draw trench lines—we run detailed duct bank studies that simulate real-world heat loads, validate NEC...

Energy Storage Integration and Software-Driven Workflows for Utility-Scale PV | Eric Loos, PE, Director of Utility-Scale Engineering at Pure Power, shares how we integrate BESS into large-scale PV systems—tied to the same substation, often...

How has PPE's utility-scale engineering evolved over time? By stepping in earlier at the development stage which helps developers and EPCs avoid costly redesigns later. Smarter site layouts | Accurate buildable areas | Better financial models - The...

Did you know arc flash incidents cause an estimated 400 deaths every year? This figure is quite concerning, especially considering that almost all of these accidents can be avoided by performing a thorough arc flash assessment. Arc flash incidents...

Utility-Scale Solar Projects aren’t forgiving—Every design decision gets multiplied across hundreds of thousands of components. | Eric Loos, PE, Director of Utility-Scale Engineering at Pure Power, shares how our in-house, multi-disciplinary team...

Microgrids are more than emergency backups—they’re engineered for seamless interaction with the grid and autonomous operation when needed. Microgrids are designed to operate in both grid-tied and island modes, so they must intelligently manage...
