    energy solutions

    Creating a solar solution starts with you. We work to figure out your energy needs, sustainability goals and logistical challenges. Then we engineer a clean-energy system that solves for everything — and evolves your organization to the next level.

    on-site solar

    Canopy

    DSD’s custom solar canopies & carports protect your customers from the elements while making an exquisite statement about where you stand on climate action. Take an interactive journey.

    DSD solar energy Rooftop

    Rooftop

    Each rooftop solar application is specially designed to consider building structural integrity, rooftop lifespan and mounting/attachment options, and environmental factors such as snow and wind.

    Ground Mount

    Ideal for large renewable energy applications — such as capped landfills, brownfield redevelopment and agricultural — our ground-mounted solar energy solutions are born from a rigorous design and geotechnical process.

    On-site Energy Storage Systems (ESS)

    ESS makes solar energy available even when the sun isn’t shining. It can also help during periods of peak power usage, when grid energy is most in-demand & expensive.

    EV Charging

    Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations transform an onsite solar and storage project into a holistic solution, reducing your facilities greenhouse gas footprint. With 10 million EVs on the road — and more coming each day — your customers will thank you.

    Case Study

    IKEA Retail U.S. uses integrated solar solutions — including ESS and EV charging stations — to power their stores with 100 % renewable energy and reduce energy consumption by 40%. See how.

    community solar

    Access for All

    For businesses and residents unable to host their own solar energy systems, community solar provides needed access to solar-generated energy. It also helps build a more resilient grid. Learn more now.

    Community Support

    DSD takes on community solar projects that others won’t. We also acquire community solar portfolios from smaller developers to help bring those critical projects over the finish line.

    Case Study

    DSD helped Schenectady County transform seven unusable “brownfield” sites into a new solar portfolio, cutting energy costs for its municipalities and residents. Read about it here.

    DSD Community Solar

    Development, Operation & Interconnection

    DSD Renewables builds and operates community solar projects in the communities we serve. DSD is also responsible for interconnecting the project with the local utility.

    Initial Subscription Sign-Up

    Local residents and businesses subscribe to a portion of a community solar project directly with DSD.

    Interconnection

    The energy generated by the subscriber’s community solar project allocation is directly fed into the state’s electricity grid. The polluting power on the grid is replaced with clean electrons from solar energy, which helps alleviate dependence on fossil fuels. This means that the solar energy produced from a community solar project is not actually fed into an individual property, but is enjoyed by your wider community in Maine.

    Solar Energy Production Monitoring

    The utility monitors production from the community solar project, and allocates bill credits to DSD subscribers proportionally to their allocation of the project capacity.

    Billing & Crediting

    Subscribers receive credits on their regular monthly utility bill and are billed for those credits at a predetermined, discounted rate--saving money. Depending on the program type, customers can be billed directly by the utility or separately by a billing manager.

    creating a new future from a dormant past

    A COMMUNITY SOLAR STORY

    At a forgotten corner in Brooklyn, NY, sat an old industrial warehouse collecting cobwebs.

    But the NYCEDC, along with other key partners, saw potential. The stagnant site was revived into an indoor community soccer facility (run by soccer-facilities operator Sofive). And DSD was brought in to complete and launch a 763 kW community solar installation on the facility’s rooftop. The project provides nearby residents with access to clean, renewable energy at reduced rates — and the facility serves as a recreational resource for the children and families of the community.

    A wonderful example of how imagination can create possibilities. Read the full story here.
