The rebate you didn't apply for is the most expensive part of the project.
Utility, state and federal programs will pay for a large share of most efficiency and electrification work — if someone files the paperwork, meets the deadlines and survives the inspection. We do that on every project. Then we finance the rest with 0% On-Bill Financing, or a power purchase agreement (PPA) for solar and battery storage with no upfront cost, so the work can start without a capital budget.
Every program that touches your project, in one filing calendar.
Utility rebates & custom incentives
Prescriptive rebates for lighting and equipment; custom, calculated incentives for controls, HVAC and process measures — pre-approved before you commit.
Electrification & EV programs
Make-ready funding for EV charging, fuel-switching incentives for heat pumps and electric equipment, and load-management programs.
State programs
California energy-efficiency and decarbonization programs for schools, hospitals and public agencies, including grant funding where it exists.
Federal tax credits & deductions
Investment tax credits for storage and solar and building-efficiency deductions, coordinated with your CPA where they apply.
Demand response & grid services
Ongoing revenue from storage and controls once the project is running — enrollment, dispatch and settlement handled by us.
Pay for the rest without a capital budget.
Rebates rarely cover everything. These are the ways our clients pay for the remainder, and we set up whichever fits.
PG&E On-Bill Financing
A 0% loan repaid on your PG&E bill over up to 10 years, sized so the payment stays below the savings. EV charging and battery storage can ride on the same loan, up to half of it.
How it works for EV charging →Power purchase agreements (PPAs)
We set up PPAs for solar and battery storage: a financing partner owns and maintains the system, and you buy the power it produces at an agreed rate. No upfront cost and nothing on your balance sheet.
Your capital or your lender
Paying directly or through your own lender? We size the project to the savings and document the payback your CFO or board needs to approve it.

From application to check, we own the paperwork.
Screen
Every meter and every measure checked against every open program. You get a list with dollar figures, not a maybe.
Pre-approve
Applications, calculations and supporting engineering filed before construction — so the incentive is reserved, not hoped for.
Build to the program
Scope, equipment and documentation held to program rules, so nothing gets disqualified at inspection.
Inspect & verify
Pre- and post-installation inspections scheduled and attended by us; meter-based verification where the program requires it.
Collect
Incentive checks and financing draws tracked to your account. Demand-response revenue enrolled and settled after.
Contractors don't get paid to find your rebate. We do.
Most incentive programs have a deadline, a pre-approval step and an inspection. Miss any one and the money is gone. A contractor bidding a fixed scope has no reason to chase it — and no engineering staff to file the calculated-savings applications that carry the biggest dollars.
As owner's representative, incentive capture is part of our scope on every project — and we'll do it as a standalone service for work you're already planning with someone else.
