Key Contact
From commercial to utility scale.
Fisher Associates provides EPCM services for your solar or solar & storage projects, from large commercial- to utility scale. Our engineering team will provide you with individual attention from the first day of the project through NTP, or until construction is complete, if to COD. Then, we will follow up with commissioning and can provide accurate O&M plans and models for performance through the life of the asset. And we can factor in the cost of decommissioning the power plant, working with one of the most respected solar asset recyclers in the country, so that you have a true IRR for the project, for its full lifecycle.
Our Clientship™ philosophy not only guides our attention to you and the services we are contracted for but, acting as your trusted development partner, we anticipate potential regulatory roadblocks, permitting challenges, and/ or construction issues and maintain fluid communicate with you so that you are confident, aware and can track progress at the level that you are most comfortable.
Below are some of the services that we can provide for your solar energy projects. However, our agility and deep bench of engineering expertise is too comprehensive to list all services here. Please call us to discuss your needs, and how Fisher can contribute to your project successes!
