Discuss an asset Find your scope

One team that can assess an asset, then fix it.

Technical advisory, engineering and O&M for energy assets. We work for the owner, lender, developer or insurer, and never bid new-build EPC work, so we’re never the party under review.

Independent Technical Advisory
Due diligence, risk assessment and root-cause investigation, before you buy, fund, build or insure.
Operations & Maintenance
Preventative and corrective maintenance and remote monitoring, including systems built by others.
Remediation, Repower & Compliance
Repair, inverter and module replacement, repower, decommissioning and utility compliance.
