How Can We Help?
SepiSolar Services
- In which market sectors do you participate?
SepiSolar specializes in renewable energy technologies for commercial, industrial, utility, municipal, medical, and educational applications. We do this primarily through contractors that specialize in these sectors, but we also occasionally engage directly with these site owners when it makes sense to do so.
- Which technologies do you handle?
We work with Solar PV, Energy Storage, EVs, Hydrogen, and Fuel-Based Generators. However, our real advantage comes from our ability to combine these technologies into a single project or site creating a complex microgrid meeting several client requirements at once.
- What services do you offer?
We offer Project Services, Product Services, and Consulting Services.
- What do you mean by Project Services?
We see projects as ‘site-specific business plans’. Each location has its own set of objectives, constraints, and qualifiers. We work with you to 1) establish the feasibility of that business plan, 2) plan and design its eventual implementation, and 3) assist in executing the plan to completion all the way through Asset Management.
- What do you mean by Product Services?
We assist in developing and engineering new products entering the renewable energy market. SepiSolar is uniquely positioned to assist in these efforts since we see client needs daily, and have a firm understanding of the policy that the product will need to comply with.
- What types of Consulting Services do you offer?
Consulting Services are essentially any additional support from our team of experts. This might include assisting attorneys as an Expert Witness, holding multi-day trainings for contractors on recent policy, or providing a second opinion to another engineer’s work.
- Can I see samples of your work?
Absolutely! We have several samples available for download here.
- Which engineering disciplines do you handle?
We are primarily electrical engineers. However, we also coordinate with structural, architectural, and geotech engineers through a project. Many of our clients find it easier if we take the lead and coordinate with these other disciplines on their behalf.
- What is the smallest and largest project you’ve worked on?
Our projects have a wide range of sizes and complexities. From a 5kw residential solar PV system, to a 50MW utility-scale PV, Storage, and Hydrogen microgrid, we can handle just about anything.
- What are the smallest and largest companies you work with?
Like with our projects, we work with a wide range of clients. We treat each of our clients with the same level of professionalism and care regardless of whether it’s ‘a man and his truck’, or a Fortune 100 company with a multi-million dollar portfolio.
General Information
- What are your qualifications?
You can see the bios and qualifications of our leading team members here
- In what regions do you operate?
We can engineer and stamp designs in all of the 50 states. We occasionally even participate in projects outside of the United States.
- How big is your team?
Big, Really big. Like Jupiter big.
- How much work can you handle?
We find that we can handle a lot more work when we’re good at keeping a schedule. You’ll find our commitment to that schedule on your quotes. We will only give you dates that we can stand by and commit to. If you’re concerned about a large upcoming portfolio of work, please reach out to your account manager immediately to reserve time on the calendar.
Company Details
- Where are you located?
Our main office is at 3070 Osgood Ct, Fremont, CA 94539.
- What are your hours of operation?
Our normal hours of operation are 8am to 5pm, however our engineers often work outside of these hours to meet our client’s needs. Your project manager may give different times when you can reach out to them.
- How long does it take to do the work? What are your average turnaround times?
That entirely depends on the project scope and our current available capacity to perform the work. However, we include task dates on each of our quotes so that you know what to expect every time. We treat these quoted dates like a reservation – they are valid up until the quote expiration date.
- What is your change order process like?
We have multiple ways to handle change orders.
First, we structure our milestones to allow for comments and corrections with each step so that changes can be incorporated without the use of change orders. This approach has all but eliminated change orders for us.
Depending on your preference, we can build in a change order allowance into the quote, and draw from it if necessary and with permission. This is most common among large corporations that have a painful administrative process for change orders. If the allowance isn’t completely used, we can either reduce the final invoice or credit the next project.
- I’m not part of the solar industry, will you be able to help me?
Absolutely! Our team of professionals understand that everyone comes with different experience and expertise. We’re able to train your team, coach you through development, or even manage your project from start to finish. Your account manager and solutions engineer will ask questions to find out where you are, where you’re trying to go, and what gaps we can fill.
