Energy costs should be predictable and manageable. |
As all public sector organizations look to offset high energy costs and achieve renewable energy goals, solar has become a critical part of their energy strategy. Emergent Solar specializes in working with Indiana K-12 schools, universities, municipalities, federal agencies and others in the public sector.
Solar can help Indiana school districts save millions on electricity bills, freeing up funds for additional teachers, improved facilities, and enhanced academic and extracurricular programs. In addition to cost savings, solar energy installations can serve as hands-on STEM laboratories for students to learn about clean energy technology from the sun.
Municipal organizations with significant land holdings and large reliable power consumption can benefit greatly from solar energy, either with distributed generation or a micro-grid with storage. These benefits often extend to major pipelines, distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, and water and wastewater treatment facilities.
Another benefit to working with Emergent Solar is that we use 100% American-Made solar components in our commercial solar projects. This is important to us because of the higher quality manufacturing processes, supporting the American workforce and economy, and for reducing our nations need for foreign energy by supporting American clean energy independence.

Most public entities in Indiana must initiate solar projects through a formal process known as a Request For Proposal. If your organization plans to create a solar RFP, know that the quality and specificity of the proposals you receive will most likely match the quality and specificity of the RFP you send out.
We suggest you standardize your requested information and solicit like-kind proposals. Ask respondents to provide the information you need in a predetermined format with specific size, configuration, components, warranties and production numbers that will allow you to make meaningful comparisons among bids. For example, if you want to know which system would save you the most money over 25 years, ask for an estimated dollar amount of savings projected over that period of time along with their proposed solution. The solar RFP process is as valuable as you make it. If you just provide an open-ended pricing page, you are likely to get a wide variety of dissimilar responses that are difficult to compare. One vendor might give you a dollar-per-watt project cost, while another might provide an estimate based on a levelized cost of energy. Those really aren’t the same at all and neither one tells you much about long-term savings. Apples to apples comparison is the best approach. Emergent Solar can be a valuable resource to administrators and board members in the first steps of information gathering to help you make the best choice for your organization. Put our experience and expertise to good use prior to starting the RFP process. We will clearly demonstrate your projects economic metrics to give you an transparent analysis of your potential solar investment. |
