Three ways to put a commercial solar team on your bench.
Pay for the work you need. Scale up when the pipeline grows. Scale back when it does not. No long-term retainers locking you into capacity you can't use.

Three ways to put a senior commercial solar team on your bench. Pick the structure that matches the work in front of you. Combine tiers when the deal calls for it.
- No long-term retainers locking you into capacity you can't use
- Senior commercial bench without payroll overhead
- Clear pricing, defined scope, written terms
- You own every customer relationship and project file
By the project, by the month, or by the deal we bring you.
Pay by the deliverable.
Energy Toolbase modeling, HelioScope design, incentive stacking, proposal builds, and interconnection support. Priced per project. No retainer, no commitment beyond the scope of work.
Residential installers running their first few commercial deals. Engineering, procurement, and construction firms that need overflow engineering and incentive capacity without adding headcount.

Solara Pro sources, develops, and qualifies commercial solar and storage opportunities, then hands the partner installer a fully scoped project. We carry the development risk. You carry construction and ownership economics.
Installers with crews, capital, and bonding capacity but no commercial pipeline. We feed the funnel; you build the projects.

The tier you pick defines how you buy our time. These capabilities sit behind every engagement and show up in the work itself.
Distributor-level equipment pricing.
As manufacturer's reps across modules, inverters, racking, battery storage, and EV charging, we secure distributor-or-better pricing for our partners. Equipment cost advantage flows directly into your project economics and your customer proposals.
Financing partner network.
Direct access to our partner network covering PPA, lease, C-PACE, construction debt, and tax equity. We route deals to the right structure based on offtaker profile, project size, and timeline.
Deep battery storage expertise.
Sizing, dispatch modeling, value-stack analysis, and tariff optimization across major utilities and grid operators including SCE and PG&E in CAISO, ComEd in PJM, and Ameren spanning PJM and MISO. Code and safety review across NFPA 855 and UL 9540.
Production-grade modeling stack.
Energy Toolbase, HelioScope, proposal generators, financial models, and proposal automation built from years of commercial solar work. Your team plugs into a system that already works.
Senior capacity priced for the way commercial solar actually gets developed.
Most consultancies sell hours. We sell engagement models tied to how commercial projects move from prospect to interconnection. You pay for the work that produces revenue, not the work that produces invoices.
