Development
As a third-party development manager, SepiSolar analyzes technical, economic, and regulatory issues to identify and develop the best opportunities for new energy infrastructure. Revenue analysis, site evaluation, and interconnection are among the development services we provide.
Revenue Analysis
SepiSolar’s revenue analysis helps forecast the financial performance of one or another type of energy technology based on available market prices over the life of the system. We benchmark revenue streams by referencing rates from open markets like RTO’s and ISO’s, comparable power purchase agreements, available feed-in tariffs and, where appropriate, utility net metering programs.
Feasibility
If a project site seems well suited for solar and energy storage infrastructure, SepiSolar will evaluate site ownership, requirements for site preparation, regulatory approvals, environmental conditions that affect how much energy you can generate, and other factors that can help decide whether to proceed with development.
Interconnection
SepiSolar’s work on interconnection answers whether your project meets utility or regional regulatory rules for privately owned systems seeking a connection to the electric grid. Projects connecting to the customer-side of the meter, the distribution grid, and the transmission grid go through separate processes that require different levels of expertise.

Planning
Partner with SepiSolar to level up your project management and project engineering capabilities. We oversee progress on tasks that must be completed to keep projects under budget, on schedule, and within scope, while maintaining the necessary coordination between different members of the project team.
Project Management
Successful projects plan and execute many goals in a limited time. SepiSolar’s approach is to outline a dependable scope of work aligned with an accountable budget and predictable schedule, keeping changes to a minimum. We also offer document management, subcontractor coordination, contract management, interconnection administration, and procurement, among many other tasks, helping to satisfy many project management needs at once.
Project Engineering
SepiSolar’s engineering teams perform all tasks necessary to design energy infrastructure as requested by the asset owner or developer. We create civil, structural, and electrical drawings, parts lists, quantity take-offs, and other materials needed for procurement, permitting and interconnection approval. We produce construction-ready plan sets to support implementation. And we verify that installations meet or exceed expectations with on-site inspection services.
Execution
Starting with permit approval and ending with project closeout, and through each milestone in between, SepiSolar keeps eyes and ears on the construction site to make sure projects are moving steadily forward according to construction plans, contracts, and standards for safety and quality.
Construction Management
As a representative for the project owner, SepiSolar manages construction activities through pre-construction, staging, mobilization, build, commissioning, testing, and closeout to ensure that work is completed as planned. Using routine meetings, inspections, punchlists, RFI’s, facilitating communication, we track safety, compliance, and quality control so deficiencies can be addressed in a timely manner.
Asset Management
When asset operations is aligned with development management, you are more likely to identify, qualify, and monetize the dynamic value of new energy infrastructure, such as by bidding into solicitations for energy storage services. Use our understanding of the entire project lifecycle to maximize profit, managing both revenue and expenses instead of expenses only.
Performance & DAS
SepiSolar monitors data from SCADA systems or any data acquisition systems capturing real-time and historical system performance. Compared to the modeling created long before construction and commissioning, we look at system production and interpret any notable deficiencies.
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Where gaps exist between expected performance and actual performance, what is the best way to close it? Referencing pre-installation data and analyses, Sepi can visit the site and see if conditions have changed. Knowing how solar modules and batteries are supposed to degrade, we can decide the best course of action for asset management. The more involved we are, the more efficient we can be.
O&M Support
Depending on what we learn from troubleshooting and diagnostics, SepiSolar might recommend operational changes to improve performance or extend the life of the asset. We can also help determine if damage has occurred and, if so, how to proceed with repairs or a warranty claim.
OUR APPROACH
At SepiSolar, we approach each engineering undertaking based on project life cycle. So you have a specialist whether you need development, planning, execution, or asset management support. Our blend of technical, policy, and regulatory expertise enables us to execute construction projects at unparralled levels for renewable organizations.
OUR MISSION
To help others unlock the value of
renewable energy infrastructure.
These may seem like just a few words, but they’re truly meaningful for all of us here at SepiSolar. We genuinely care about our work, each other, our clients, and the community. In fact, the community of designers that we’re building includes everyone. How people create and use energy guides our solutions for transitioning the world to renewables and a much more intelligent grid.
OUR PROCESS
SepiSolar’s process versus a traditional process.
Consider two identical projects—in terms of size and scope—one from SepiSolar and one from a similar engineering firm. Both have similar deliverables—a full permit set. Yet the project by SepiSolar was completed without a single change order, and without delays to the project. Our customer provided useful feedback with each review period. We effortlessly incorporated those changes into the next milestone—without any change orders and with no schedule delay. The project from our competitor saw a significant increase in total fees and delays in the delivery owing to traditional change orders.
