Challenges and Results

The main project challenges included the lead times for materials and short windows for construction. Careful scheduling and coordination of our staff and resources was of the highest importance. Additional crew members and field management worked overtime and on weekends to meet our clients’ project schedules.

Despite a challenging schedule and a complex series of installations, we completed each solar facility on time and according to the client’s specifications. The electricity generated by the 5MW solar plant was ultimately sold to the Social Security Administration as part of a PPA agreement, and the electricity generated by the other facilities was sold into the open market for Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs).
