Plankton Energy

Founded in 2018, Plankton Energy is an industry leader providing commercial solar development services. Members of the Plankton Team have worked in the commercial solar industry since 2013. We have deep experience in project development, finance, engineering, and academia. Plankton Energy creates economic and environmental value for its clients with a strong commitment to sustainability. We develop, engineer, finance, install, own and operate solar energy systems. Plankton is a long-term partner with its clients, providing operations and maintenance services on all systems installed. We determine a solar strategy based on our client’s environmental and financial goals. The key to a successful strategy is to incorporate market-specific financial incentives. Incentive programs vary by jurisdiction which will influence the deployment strategy. We tailor a portfolio-wide deployment strategy down to the individual asset level. We aim to leverage the built environment, developing solar on rooftops, parking lots, and multi-story parking structures. Solar systems can be installed as a retrofit or as part of a building’s initial construction. Solar Parking Canopies combine the benefit of covered parking and onsite clean energy generation. Solar Parking Canopies allow you generate income while providing an amenity to the users of your parking lot and making a public statement of your commitment to environmental sustainability. Rooftop solar transforms unused roof space into a profit center. Our rooftop systems are engineered to meet all building codes and maintain your roof warranty. We do not install solar on roofs with less than 20 years of life remaining. Plankton’s clients range from houses of worship to publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts. We determine an interconnection strategy to maximize value. For the property owner, this may range from site lease revenue to a reduction in electricity expense. We develop solar to increase operating income.
