  Our Focus

  

  Our specialty and focus is on the development of distributed small scale photovoltaic solar power projects on landfills and brownfield sites, which are close to existing transmission capabilities or customer load. This strategic siting and development approach places our solar facilities at the distribution end of the grid, thereby eliminating the need for new transmission lines, and expensive and time-consuming environmental studies.

• 

  Our Partners

  

  We also partner with some of the world's largest solar energy providers and equipment suppliers to cost-effectively leverage our talents, secure financing and formulate solar power solutions.

  
  

  CEC Pilot Study Grant

  PV Navigator is pilot testing a PV racking system on the cap of a closed Superfund landfill site in Los Angeles, CA.

  The work is being funded by the California Energy Commission and will deliver design data and metrics which can help developers more rapidly deploy PV solar power systems on closed landfill caps. A large variety of data is being collected, including, electrical, mechanical and geotechnical, during the two year test.
