Commercial developments in California must comply with Title 24 energy standards, requiring solar PV and sometimes battery integration.
WeI provides compliance-ready solar and storage system design to help developers pass plan check and meet energy code requirements efficiently.

Title 24 solar system sizing
Solar + battery integration
Electrical infrastructure planning
Plan check support
Utility interconnection coordination

Faster permit approval
Reduced compliance risk
Lower tenant energy costs

Commercial energy projects can benefit from multiple federal, state, and financing programs. We works with developers to identify and combine the most effective incentives and funding structures, helping reduce upfront project costs and improve long-term financial returns.
Our team evaluates each project and structures the energy system to maximize available incentive programs and financing options.

SGIP Battery Incentive
California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) provides significant rebates for qualifying battery energy storage systems, helping reduce the upfront cost of storage installations.
Federal ITC Tax Credits
The Federal Investment Tax Credit allows commercial solar and energy storage projects to claim a substantial percentage of eligible project costs as federal tax credits.
Energy Community Bonus
Projects located in designated energy communities may qualify for additional tax credit bonuses under federal clean energy policies, increasing total project incentives.
Financing Options
Flexible financing structures are available to help developers deploy energy systems without large upfront capital investment:
• Energy Loans – traditional project financing structures
• Equipment Leasing – fixed payments for energy system use
• Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) – pay only for the electricity produced

By combining incentives and financing solutions, developers can achieve:
• Lower upfront capital investment
• Stronger project cash flow
• Higher long-term project ROI
• Increased property value through energy infrastructure

Before integrating solar and energy storage into a commercial development, it is critical to evaluate the technical and financial feasibility of the project. GMI works with developers during the early planning stage to assess site conditions, energy demand, and potential system configurations.
Our feasibility analysis helps determine the most efficient solar and storage solution while ensuring compliance with California energy regulations and local permitting requirements.
• Site conditions and available installation areas (roof, parking, or ground)
• Estimated building energy demand and load profile
• Preliminary solar and energy storage system sizing
• Title 24 energy compliance considerations
• Potential incentive eligibility and financing options
Developers receive a clear understanding of system capacity, potential incentives, and expected project economics, allowing informed decisions before moving into engineering and permitting stages.

A well-planned energy system starts with the right design. We develops solar and energy storage system designs tailored to the building type, site conditions, energy profile, and project objectives of each commercial development.
Our team designs compliance-ready systems that align with Title 24 requirements, project load needs, available installation space, and long-term operating goals. The result is a practical system layout that supports performance, constructability, and permitting efficiency.
• Solar PV system sizing and layout
• Battery energy storage configuration
• Solar + storage integration strategy
• Roof, carport, or ground-mount system planning
• Preliminary electrical and equipment layout
Developers receive a project-specific system design that supports compliance, improves installation planning, and creates a strong foundation for engineering, permitting, and construction.

Reliable energy infrastructure requires detailed engineering to ensure safety, performance, and regulatory compliance. We works with experienced engineers and technical partners to provide the documentation and technical coordination needed to move projects smoothly through review, permitting, and construction.
Our engineering support focuses on translating system design into buildable, compliant plans that meet local building codes, utility requirements, and project specifications.
• Electrical single-line diagrams and system schematics
• Structural and mounting system coordination
• Energy storage system integration planning
• Equipment specifications and technical documentation
• Coordination with engineers of record for stamped drawings
Developers receive complete engineering documentation that supports plan check approval, construction readiness, and reliable long-term system performance.

Navigating local permitting and plan review is a critical step in bringing energy systems into commercial developments. GMI assists developers in preparing the required documentation and coordinating with local authorities and utilities to help streamline the approval process.
Our team works to ensure that solar and energy storage system designs meet applicable building codes, electrical standards, and local jurisdiction requirements before submission.
• Preparation of permit-ready system documentation
• Coordination with local building departments and AHJs
• Title 24 compliance documentation support
• Utility interconnection application coordination
• Response support during plan check reviews
Developers benefit from a smoother approval process, reduced permitting delays, and a higher likelihood of passing plan check efficiently so construction can proceed on schedule.

Once the project is approved and permits are secured, GMI manages the installation phase to ensure the solar and energy storage system is deployed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with project specifications. Our installation teams coordinate closely with developers, general contractors, and site managers to integrate the energy infrastructure into the construction schedule.
We focus on maintaining high installation standards while minimizing disruption to the overall development timeline.
• Professional installation of solar PV systems and mounting structures
• Battery energy storage system deployment and integration
• Electrical wiring, inverter installation, and system connections
• Coordination with site contractors and construction teams
• Compliance with electrical codes, safety standards, and project specifications
Developers receive a properly installed energy system that is construction-ready, code-compliant, and prepared for final inspection, commissioning, and long-term operation.

After installation is completed, GMI performs system commissioning to verify that all solar and energy storage components operate safely and perform according to design specifications. This process ensures the system is fully integrated with the building’s electrical infrastructure and ready for reliable operation.
Beyond commissioning, GMI provides ongoing support and service to help maintain system performance throughout its operational life.
• System testing and commissioning verification
• Performance validation and safety checks
• Utility interconnection and system activation coordination
• Monitoring setup and operational configuration
• Maintenance support and technical service when needed
Developers and property owners receive a fully operational energy system with reliable long-term performance, helping ensure stable energy production, optimized system efficiency, and dependable infrastructure for years to come.

We design and deploy scalable solar and battery systems for commercial buildings ranging from small retail centers to large industrial facilities.
