Turning Plans into Reality
By investing in solar and battery systems, developers and business owners seek to leverage ROI, reliability, and risk management. That’s why construction, the final leg of a solar or energy storage project, is so critical. It’s where careful planning, engineering, and procurement come together. It’s where solar and battery projects are brought to life by skilled electricians.
As a full-service EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) partner, we manage every aspect of your solar or battery project. And when it’s time to build, we bring union-trained precision, deep coordination, and a construction heritage that ensures results.
Construction Built for Industrial-Grade Expectations
Whether it’s a 500,000 sq. ft. warehouse rooftop or a high-volume logistics facility, solar and battery construction in the industrial sector must meet higher standards of complexity, safety, and uptime. We understand the operational challenges our clients face including space constraints, 24/7 activity, seasonal schedules, and more. We plan construction around your needs.
Our construction process emphasizes:
- Minimized disruption to ongoing operations
- Strict safety protocols in high-traffic environments
- Scalable project phasing that aligns with your facility’s logistics
- Clear, proactive communication with ownership and site teams
From day one, our construction management team is integrated with engineering and procurement to ensure smooth handoffs and early coordination with stakeholders.
Union-Trained Electricians You Can Trust
The quality of your solar or battery system is only as good as the people who build it. That’s why we work exclusively with union electricians from our sister company, Continental Electrical Construction Company (CECCo), a trusted name in the Midwest since 1912.
CECCo’s workforce of over 700 skilled professionals has helped construct iconic buildings across Chicago. Today, through our combined efforts, we are leading the way in clean energy infrastructure. Our experience in solar, battery energy storage, and high-voltage electrical work meets the demands of challenging industrial environments.
You benefit from:
- Consistent installation quality
- Reduced risk through certified labor
- Faster delivery thanks to experienced teams
- A partner who never outsources core craftsmanship
This union-backed workforce is a strategic advantage that sets us apart from EPCs who subcontract to the lowest bidder.
Safety and Compliance: Non-Negotiable in Industrial Environments
For logistics campuses, cold storage facilities, and large-scale warehouses, maintaining a safe jobsite is critical. Our teams are OSHA-trained and adhere to NFPA 70E and NEC standards, along with project-specific compliance needs.
We routinely work in active industrial zones and understand how to operate with zero interference to your operations. From pre-construction safety planning to daily toolbox talks, we enforce rigorous protocols so your facility stays productive and protected during every stage of construction.
Efficient Execution Without Cutting Corners
We know downtime is money, especially in industrial environments where every delay can affect supply chain operations. Our construction teams are trained to install solar arrays and battery systems with precision and speed, using streamlined construction workflows tailored to your project site.
We use digital layout tools, prefabrication techniques, and tight coordination with on-site contractors to:
- Reduce installation time
- Ensure alignment with structural and utility requirements
- Hit aggressive timelines without sacrificing quality
We’re not just building energy systems—we’re building long-term assets for your portfolio or facility.
Built-In Flexibility for Developers and Asset Managers
For developers and energy investors, flexibility during construction is key. You need a partner that can respond quickly to tenant needs, utility changes, or evolving project requirements. We bring deep experience in adapting to shifting conditions, whether that means splitting projects into phases, modifying scope, or adjusting commissioning to meet lease schedules or incentive deadlines.
Because we’re a fully integrated EPC, changes are handled in-house with no delays from third-party handoffs. You’ll always have one point of contact and a team that’s aligned with your long-term goals.
Testing, Commissioning, and Performance Assurance
We don’t stop when the panels go up or the batteries are installed. Our construction phase includes comprehensive testing and commissioning to ensure your system performs exactly as designed.
We test every connection, validate system output, and oversee utility interconnection to make sure you’re fully operational on day one. For battery installations, we run diagnostics on battery management systems (BMS), thermal profiles, and backup functionality to ensure safe and optimal performance.
This performance-first approach gives developers peace of mind at handoff and gives building owners a high-functioning system that delivers real savings.
Our Construction Advantage: Legacy + Innovation
As we build the energy infrastructure of the future, we’re proud to draw on the strengths of the past. Our connection to CECCo allows us to bring the kind of construction discipline and union-trained excellence that’s rare in today’s solar EPC market. But we don’t rest on history—we leverage it to drive innovation.
Whether we’re working on a greenfield logistics park or adding solar + storage to an existing distribution center, we apply smart construction strategies to meet your goals for energy savings, resilience, and ESG compliance.
You’ll gain:
- A full-service EPC partner with in-house construction control
- Decades of experience building in complex environments
- A workforce trained in both legacy electrical systems and new energy tech
- Confidence that your system will be built to last, and built right
Union Built. Developer Ready. Owner Focused.
The construction of your solar or battery system is too important to leave to chance or the lowest bidder. When you partner with us, you get an EPC team that doesn’t just manage construction, you get a team that owns the outcome.
Our builds are union made, industrial grade, and ready for decades of performance. Whether you’re a developer looking to scale your portfolio or an owner seeking cost savings and grid independence, we deliver the installation expertise to turn vision into value.
