Solar Power Development projects require the right location, obtaining permits, working with stakeholders, building on challenging sites and connecting to the grid. TRC is a trusted solar development partner for major solar projects across the United States. Our solar experts help guide projects from concept to completion while minimizing environmental impact.
Our experts plan, permit, engineer and support construction for both small and large solar initiatives nationwide. We design projects that minimize environmental impacts and avoid costly mitigation without creating construction or operational constraints.
Our solutions overcome development hurdles, including project opposition, appeals, delays and technical challenges. We leverage long standing relationships with developers, electric utilities and regulatory agencies to efficiently complete development and move projects into construction and then operation.
Solar Engineering, Procurement and Construction
ABB wanted to showcase its products within the United States by installing a 1.29 MW ground mounted solar system at its Belton, South Carolina facility. After the first consultant was unable to complete the project, ABB turned to TRC for help under a compressed timeline so it could access a utility rebate and offset costs.
Solar Siting and Permitting
When a utility-scale solar development company
proposed building ground-mounted installations across
Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, it faced multiple environmental and regulatory challenges.
Drawing on our technical skill, regulatory
relationships and regional experience, TRC helped the developer become a key player bringing clean energy to New England.
Environmental and Electrical Engineering Solutions
