Renewable Energy

An Unbiased Look at Solar, Battery Storage, Cogen, and Fuel Cells

The Challenge

With a myriad of traditional and developing technologies, which is best for your facility? Most equipment manufacturers and “developers” offer a wide range of services including engineering; procurement and construction contracts; operation and maintenance services; and build-own-operate or build-own-operate-transfer services. It is difficult to assess the advantages and limitations of these offerings.

The Solution

Ecom-Energy has resident experts that analyze the technical and cost characteristics of renewable energy and onsite generation technologies. As an independent energy consulting firm, we have no ties to any specific technology or vendor – only to the customer. We will verify if a project makes sense and, just as importantly, if it doesn’t.

OUR INDEPENDENCE GUARANTEE

As Certified Renewable Energy Professionals (REP™), Ecom-Energy GUARANTEES an independent, unbiased evaluation.

  • Contract Negotiation with Industry-Standard Terms
    • Your legal team serves a critical function in your organization, but do they know industry-standard energy terms and conditions?
