An outside investor group proposed this project to St. Philip’s School as a way to hedge the school’s overhead against grid-energy cost escalation without the need for a large, upfront investment of their own. The investment group who now own the solar energy system contracted Sunshine Renewable Solutions to make their idea a reality and were able to realize the Investment Tax Credit against their tax liability. St. Philip’s now purchase the generated solar energy from the investment group via a power purchase agreement (PPA) and plan to purchase the system from the investment group at a favorable price in year six.
To ensure the continued viability of this valuable asset, the federal government branch overseeing operations and maintenance of this downtown parking garage contracted Sunshine to keep it clean and quickly address any functionality issues which would otherwise cause lengthy and expensive downtime.

Sunshine Renewable Solutions were thrilled to have been contracted for installation of over 2.1 megawatts of ballasted, rooftop solar for their new facility.
An innovator at the very leading edge of what a retail energy provider can offer, Octopus Energy is constantly creating new value propositions for its customers. This battery-backup system serves as a test laboratory for the code they’re writing which learns to predict grid-energy cost trends and intelligently builds and manages charge/discharge schedules for the purpose of rate arbitration. The idea is that—once optimized—their residential customers will be able to put their own battery-backup systems to work producing a monetary return by simply utilizing Octopus’ proprietary machine-learning software solution.
‘Katz’s Never Kloses,’ which means they never stop needing electricity. With all-electric appliances in their kitchen, they knew that their electricity needs at this location would be fairly substantial—hence their interest in a cheaper alternative to purchasing expensive energy from the electric grid. Sunshine Renewable Solutions installed the perfect solution for them in the form of solar carports for their parking lot. In this case, the panels installed were bifacial, meaning they actually produce further energy from the sunlight reflected upward from the concrete below.
