What We Engineer

Every discipline a C&I project needs

A commercial set gets read by a structural engineer, an electrical engineer, a utility reviewer, a lender independent engineer, and the owner's facilities team — each for a different reason. We produce cohesive plan sets that all perspectives will agree on.

01

Plan Sets & Construction Documents

Permit and IFC packages: site plans, array layouts, string plans, three-line diagrams, electrical calculations, racking plans, structural details, labels, and placards.

02

Structural Engineering

Structural review and engineering stamps in all 50 states, backed by calculation packages and structural approval letters.

03

Electrical Design: Solar PV, Battery & EV Charger

Electrical design engineering for Solar PV, Commercial Batteries, and Level II and III EV chargers across all US manufacturers.

04

Energy Modeling

Industry-leading PV energy production modeling reports with iterative layout optimization.

05

Interconnection Support

Interconnection application and PTO request fulfillment services for all utilities across the nation.

06

AHJ Permitting Services

Permit application preparation, submission, and tracking with AHJs nationwide, including plan check comment responses and revisions through approval.

Process

How we support your project end-to-end

Five stages from first submission to a stamped, ready-to-file set — scroll to walk through each one.

05 / steps
01
Step 01

Project Submission

Send us your proposed system size for an instant project quote. Once approved, we'll get started!

02
Step 02

Design & Drafting

Your assigned multi-discipline team develops the array layout, structural approach, and electrical design, all in parallel.

03
Step 03

Engineering Review

Licensed PE's perform Structural and Electrical review before stamping the set. We coordinate internally to avoid project delays, and return the stamped plans and approval letter with industry-leading speed.

04
Step 04

Permit & Interconnection Submission

We prepare the AHJ package and interconnection application to each reviewer's format and submit or hand off.

05
Step 05

AHJ & Utility

We manage plan-check comments and utility review responses through approved-for-construction.

Who We Work With

Built for teams delivering complex projects

Whether you're a contractor adding a commercial line to a residential business or an EPC running a full development pipeline, our engineering scope flexes to fill whatever your team doesn't do in-house.

C&I Contractors

Full engineering scope for companies without in-house structural or electrical capability, and additional resource for complex or fast-turnaround projects.

Solar EPC Companies

Engineering support that keeps the project pipeline moving without bottlenecks.

Developers

Bid-stage layouts and production numbers fast enough to price a site before the deadline.

Renewable Contractors

Consistent design and permitting output that slots into your existing delivery workflow.

Solar Financiers

Precise, AHJ-compliant documentation that speeds approvals and simplifies deal closing.

Asset Owners

Independent design review and documentation for projects already in motion.

Turnaround

Timelines you can build a schedule on

1–3 Weeks

Fully SE + EE sealed plan sets, including all structural and electrical sheets, calculations, approval letters, and stamped drawings.

24–72 Hours

Bid-stage layouts and production estimates.

One Point of Contact, Many Teams

Assigned per client, with revision cycles tracked.

Segments

Project types we cover

From rooftop arrays to ground-mount fields, our structural and electrical scope covers the full range of commercial solar, storage, and EV charging installations.

01

Flat-Roof Solar PV

Ballasted or fully attached, low voltage.

02

Ground-Mount Solar PV

Fixed-tilt and tracker, with structural and electrical scope.

03

Solar Carports & Canopies

We can use manufacturer-provided plans for a complete project plan set, or provide PE stamping for site-specific installations.

04

Solar-Plus-Storage & Standalone Storage

AC coupled, DC coupled, or both — we design your commercial energy storage system, optimized and to code.

EV Charging

Level II and Level III EV chargers, including new and existing services and load studies.

Why ESR

Why EPCs and developers work with us

Six reasons EPCs and developers keep bringing us their commercial and industrial pipeline.

One Partner, All Disciplines

No coordinating across multiple consultants and hoping their drawings agree.

Bid-Stage Support

Preliminary layouts and production numbers fast enough to price and win.

Diligence-Ready Documents

Sets built to survive lender and independent-engineer review.

Scalable Capacity

Take on more projects without expanding fixed engineering overhead.

Vendor-Neutral Design

We design to your specified racking, modules, inverters, and BOS.

Complete Scope, Minus Installation

Every part of a commercial solar project except laying glass.
