Commercial, industrial, and agricultural solar and energy storage EPCs and developers trust Phoenix Engineering to deliver complete permit-ready plan sets that ensure code compliance, decrease labor and material costs, and maintain project timelines.
Phoenix Engineering NABCEP-certified engineers consider all utility and permitting requirements and project location and constraints. Following a project kick-off call with a senior engineer to discuss further details and objectives, Phoenix Engineering designs and engineers systems to maximize solar generation, reduce efficiency losses, and uncover equipment and BOS savings.

P.E. Stamps (Professional Engineer) for all 50 States
Whether or not an electrical or structural P.E. stamp is required by your state or jurisdiction, electrical and structural P.E. stamps show your clients that your solar or storage project was designed and engineered to provide the highest level of safety and performance.
A professional engineer’s structural and electrical seal demonstrates that you took the extra step to review your design with a third-party engineering firm, confirming that your project’s meets or exceeds all prevailing electrical and/or structural codes, permitting requirements, and safety standards. Phoenix Engineering provides:
- Electrical P.E. Stamps (wet or digital)
- Structural P.E. Stamps (wet or digital)
Design Build & Changes
Phoenix Engineering works with installers, developers, project managers, asset managers, and owners to make any needed or desired change:
- Design rescue missions: Phoenix Engineering revises plans to be compliant with AHJ and utility codes and standards for inspections, commissioning, and permitting
- Update designs for module, inverter, and BOS equipment changes
- Add energy storage to existing projects
- Technical support for construction teams in the field
Phoenix Solar stands behind all of our installations, and this is only as good as the design they are built on. We need to have confidence that we’re building systems based on sound technical plans and designs. Plans that we have confidence that will result in safe, effective, and compliant systems is crucial. The price of failure with defects on a finished project is severe, and it’s simply not worth trying to save a few dollars upfront only to be bitten down the road with failures. That’s why we partner with Phoenix Engineering for all of our engineering and design needs for solar and storage.”
