Solar
Rooftop, carport or ground-mount. Solar takes the energy line off the bill wherever there's open roof and steady daytime use.
For property owners and investors
The right energy source for every building you own.
Every engagement starts with a Scorecard: a building energy assessment that shows which technologies fit each of your buildings, what they'd save, and how you'd pay for them.

Best fit: solar, with storage and fuel cells for the peaks.
Long hours of energy use with heavy cooling. Solar cuts the daytime costs; storage trims the monthly peak; fuel cells carry the steady demand.

Energy sources
Six energy sources we compare.
Solar
Rooftop, carport or ground-mount. Solar takes the energy line off the bill wherever there's open roof and steady daytime use.
Battery storage
Stores power when it's cheap and releases it into the building when rates peak. When the grid goes down, it keeps critical systems running.
Fuel cells
Steady power generated on site, around the clock. Built for buildings that can't afford to go dark.
Combined heat & power
Makes electricity on site and recovers the heat to offset your boilers. It pays where a building uses both, all day.
Geothermal
Heating and cooling from the ground beneath your building. Best timed to your next HVAC replacement.
Advanced nuclear
Microreactors for the largest campuses. Not deployable at building scale yet; we track the pilots and will add them when they are.

How it works
What happens after your Scorecard.
We compare every option for each building.
Send the bills. The Scorecard tests each source against each building's electricity usage, utility rates and finances.

Why Ensemble
What you get by working with us.
Lower energy costs raise your property's value.
Every dollar of energy saved adds a dollar of net operating income (NOI). Buildings are valued as a multiple of NOI, so those savings are worth many times over when you value or sell the building.
