Solar Energy
Our focus is on the permitting and design of utility scale solar energy projects. Our team of regulatory specialists, engineers and scientists will help you get your solar project through the permitting process and into production. Solar energy has broad public support, but individual projects still have to go through rigorous site development permitting.
We will help you identify the regulatory issues peculiar to solar project development so that you can better manage your project budget and schedule. We will help at during the early stages of development in site selection and evaluation. We perform solar radiation intensity analysis along with shading and topographic studies to help you evaluate the productivity of a site. Our team of scientists will help identify site development issues and risks. We can perform the necessary environmental studies to limit your project’s impact on wetlands and other environmentally sensitive site features to help you avoid permitting issues. Our engineers will assist you in site layout and design to maximize the site’s productivity. An important feature of our services is in working with you to develop a site design that will meet the requirements of the local, state and federal regulatory agencies. Our solar services include:
