Managing a Request-for-Proposal process, upgrading energy efficiency, or addressing a “missing piece” of a project.
SHR Energy Management works closely with clients as a solar energy consultant. Our consulting clients benefit from our extensive experience in the legal, engineering, and financial aspects of solar energy in the Northeast United States.
Managing an RFP Process
