Renewable Energy Certificates and Carbon Offsets

We offer North Carolina-based renewable energy certificates (RECs) and regional carbon offsets through our NC GreenPower program. When you work with NC GreenPower, you are supporting community projects, the local economy and the environment. All RECs are sourced from North Carolina and carbon offsets are sourced regionally from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. All carbon offsets must meet our quality criteria to ensure projects are making a positive difference.

Quality Assessments

Our quality assessments help facility owners to feel confident about their investments. As a third party, we work to ensure systems meet project specifications, comply with owner requirements and standards, and operate correctly in order to decrease maintenance and safety issues. We provide a thorough review of the PV system design, a detailed PV system inspection of all components and equipment, and a review of all aspects of the installation for compliance with safety codes and standards. As an end result, we identify issues and solutions so that facility owners can be ensured that their systems are built for long-term quality, reliability, safety and performance.

Interconnection Commissioning

Interconnection Commissioning is an established, turnkey program that helps utilities protect the power quality, reliability and safety of the utility grid by ensuring the safety and dependability of distributed energy resources (DER) connected to the grid.

The Interconnection Commissioning process verifies whether the DER facility complies with the documentation on file with the utility and all relevant codes and standards. This includes review of the facility as-built construction for compliance with documentation studied and approved by the utility, assessment of the facility’s AC construction to ensure it is built to quality standards, verification of interconnection equipment settings, and conducting three-phase and single-phase cease to energize testing.

Utility Distributed Energy Resources Consulting

We work with utilities of all sizes to consult on DER standards, compliance, troubleshooting of PV systems and program design. Our team has extensive technical expertise in utility scale solar safety and quality compliance. We are also able to help utilities with consulting on residential, small commercial and community solar educational resources.

Battery Storage Commissioning

With the increase in prevalence of battery storage systems, we have expanded our technical expertise to consult and commission battery storage facilities. Battery storage commissioning can happen in conjunction with PV commissioning or we can commission a battery only facility.

Trainings

Our customized trainings help to educate utility staff, developers and contractors on a variety of technical topics. These have included trainings on commonly found items during inspections, an inspection and commissioning overview and general PV construction quality best practices. We offer trainings both virtually and in-person.
