Solar and Renewables

Now more than ever, organizations have multiple funding options for solar and solar+storage projects. These include capital funds, leases, power purchase agreement (PPA), community solar or Energy as a Service (EaaS).

Understanding the differences, savings potential and benefits of each funding option must be considered when planning a successful project. While many developers focus on a single solution, McKinstry will work with you to evaluate multiple options and develop a financing solution that meets your specific situation and goals for the project.

McKinstry follows a holistic approach to push what’s possible for your building, campus or enterprise. Whether it’s 200kW or 20MW, we evaluate your needs and engineer the right system using the best technology and most favorable financing package to make the most of your investment and protect your assets long term.

You need a true partner who provides real world expertise with development strategy, stakeholder engagement, technical due diligence, rate valuation, policy, financing, design, permitting, engineering, construction and ongoing operations. Our structured development approach provides a field-tested framework that provides our clients with enhanced control, reduced risk, lower costs and quicker implementation.

Renewable energy projects not only reduce operating costs, but can also provide significant, tangible benefits for your community. Through our community impact initiatives, we work with clients to set and achieve diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals, identify and hire local contractors, create workforce training opportunities, and develop communication strategies to build community understanding and support of the project.

We take pride in ensuring your project is delivered on time and on budget while meeting your organization’s economic and sustainability goals. We can’t do that if we’re contractually tied to individual technology vendors. That’s why we remain vendor and technology agnostic, giving us the flexibility needed to leverage OEM and manufacturer relationships from across the industry to put your needs above all else.
