EcoMotion provides detailed site analysis services for solar. Be it roof-top, ground-mount, or carports or canopies… our team is expert at sizing opportunities, shade analysis, determining environmental benefits, and interconnection. Site information is then married with rate offset analysis to determine system economics.

EcoMotion has expertise in objective solar financial analysis. Using OnGrid, a solar financial analysis tool, our professionals check optimal system sizing and orientation, as well as rate shift options, to ascertain the best economic scenarios to present to clients. Our team has managed solar projects for clients both with cash purchases and power purchase agreements (PPAs). Recently, we have added EnergyToolbase to our capabilities, allowing us to layer solar and storage options while shifting rates to determine optimal configurations.

For clients that are ready to move forward based on the results of the feasibility analysis – both site and financial – EcoMotion offers procurement support. We take on a role as your “Owner’s Rep.” On a client’s behalf and working collaboratively, our team codifies the scope work, we develop Requests for Proposals, we manage job walks, bidders conferences and questions, check references, review and score proposals, and recommend contractors. We support clients in contract negotiations – 0% escalators, retaining RECs, etc. – to pave the way for final design, permitting, construction and interconnection.

EcoMotion and its Consulting Team members provide Project Oversight and Quality Control services for solar and storage systems from construction through interconnection. Throughout the design, permitting, and installation process, EcoMotion participates in project team meetings, tracks punch lists of work to be completed, flags issues, and maintains client expectations through clear two-way communications with the selected installation contractor on behalf of the client.

EcoMotion routinely monitors our clients’ solar projects. For LA Metro, we have prepared annual performance reports based on nearly a dozen monitoring portals. In cases, our team has had to work with tech support and Metro staff to get these back on line. The resulting performance reports, and reports like them, are essential for making sure systems are on track. If not, there needs to be a plan to restore optimal functionality and production.

EcoMotion provides Field Verification services. For Burbank Water and Power and Anaheim Public Utilities, our solar team inspected and verified solar systems. We did analysis for Point Loma Nazarene University on its aging systems that have been exposed to the salt air. We recently evaluated a school district’s ten-campus solar installation to advise on whether or not to invest in costly equipment updates. In each case, our team checks the condition of equipment on site, examines the azimuth and tilt of the arrays, and evaluates shading and other conditions.
