Solar Power System Design

The Next Generation of Power

Design from Module to POI

In today’s rapid and ever-changing solar energy industry, experienced engineering partners are critical to success. The multi-disciplinary engineering team at NEI is focused on delivering high-quality design solutions to meet the needs of solar developers, contractors, and owner/operators. The growth of renewable generation and evolving energy standards create schedule challenges for both utilities and renewable developers. Grid interconnections require proper planning, risk assessment, and execution of the engineering and construction to allow for a streamlined experience interconnecting to the grid. With 14 years of combined solar experience, we apply our knowledge by listening to our client’s objectives and developing an approach that optimizes value. This is how we serve others and truly deliver quality results.

Grid Interconnection

The rapid growth of renewable generation and evolving energy standards often create schedule challenges for both utilities and renewable developers. Grid interconnections require proper planning, risk assessment, and execution of the engineering and construction to allow for a streamlined experience interconnecting to the grid. NEI’s expertise in connecting substations and power to the grid means that clients get a design that adheres to best practices and standards while still customized for each project. NEI’s strength is seeing the big picture and helping clients see the broader context. By doing assessments, conceptual designs, and leveraging new technologies, we create the right solutions so clients don’t have to do rework down the line. Clients rely on NEI to leverage their multi-disciplinary knowledge to deliver integrated solutions that save time and money.
