Nerd Power is a full-service energy infrastructure company with over a decade of experience delivering commercial solar, battery storage, and critical power systems. We integrate design, finance, and execution under one accountable program—eliminating the fragmentation that plagues traditional energy projects and delivering predictable, resilient outcomes for enterprises, government entities, and nonprofits.

We serve four primary sectors: Critical Power Infrastructure (data centers, industrial, utilities), Commercial Solar & Battery (manufacturing, retail, hospitality, multi-family), Government & Public Sector (municipalities, school districts, state agencies), and Nonprofits & Faith-Based Organizations (churches, charities, private schools). Each sector receives solutions tailored to its unique requirements and constraints.

We deliver commercial and industrial energy solutions across 8+ states and growing. Each region is served by certified professionals who understand local requirements, regulations, and climate conditions. Contact us to confirm service availability in your area.

Unlike traditional installers, Nerd owns the entire process—from design and financing through construction and lifecycle monitoring. We govern a trusted network of prime and sub-contractors, eliminating finger-pointing and coordination headaches. One team, one standard, one outcome: power infrastructure you can count on.

We design and install rooftop solar, ground-mount systems, carport solar structures, and battery storage solutions. System sizes range from 100 kW for small commercial facilities to multi-megawatt installations for large industrial operations. Every system is custom-engineered for your facility's specific requirements.

We serve corporate and retail facilities, manufacturing plants, logistics and distribution centers, hospitality properties, multi-family housing, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. Any organization with significant electricity consumption can benefit from our commercial energy solutions.

Project timelines vary based on system size and complexity. A typical commercial rooftop installation takes 3-6 months from contract signing to system activation. Larger industrial projects may take 6-12 months. We provide detailed timelines during the proposal phase and keep you informed throughout the process.

Most commercial clients see 20-40% reductions in energy costs, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years for owned systems. PPA and lease structures deliver savings from day one with no upfront investment. We provide detailed financial projections specific to your facility during the assessment process.

Yes. We design and install battery energy storage systems (BESS) as standalone solutions or integrated with solar installations. Battery storage provides backup power during outages, demand charge reduction, and the ability to maximize solar self-consumption. Storage is particularly valuable for facilities with time-of-use rates or critical uptime requirements.

The Nerd Fund is our proprietary financing platform with $750M+ in capital to deploy for commercial solar and battery storage projects. Unlike bank financing, the Nerd Fund was built by energy operators who understand project requirements. We offer Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), commercial leases, and custom financing structures that remove capital barriers.

A PPA is a financing structure where Nerd owns, installs, and maintains the solar system on your property, and you simply purchase the electricity it generates at a fixed rate—typically lower than utility rates. There's no upfront cost, no system ownership responsibility, and predictable energy costs for the term of the agreement (typically 15-25 years).

A solar lease involves fixed monthly payments over the agreement term, after which you own the system outright. Unlike a PPA (which charges per kWh), lease payments remain constant regardless of production. This structure works well for organizations that want a clear path to ownership with predictable costs.

No. Through PPA and lease structures, Nerd captures the tax incentives and passes the value to you through lower energy rates. This makes commercial solar accessible to nonprofits, churches, government entities, and other organizations without federal tax liability. You get the savings without needing to monetize tax credits yourself.

The Nerd Fund has more flexible requirements than traditional bank financing. Key factors include creditworthiness, facility ownership or long-term lease, and electricity consumption levels. We work with a variety of credit profiles and organizational structures. Contact us for a preliminary qualification assessment.

Options vary by agreement type. PPA agreements typically offer renewal at reduced rates, system purchase at fair market value, or system removal at no cost. Lease agreements transfer system ownership to you at the end of the term. We discuss all end-of-term options during the proposal process.

Critical power infrastructure refers to high-reliability energy systems designed for organizations where downtime is not an option—data centers, healthcare facilities, manufacturing operations, telecommunications, and emergency services. These systems include substations, microgrids, redundant power supplies, and grid interconnection solutions engineered for continuous, mission-critical operation.

Yes. We deliver high-density power solutions for data centers and colocation facilities, including dedicated substations, on-site generation, and utility interconnection. Our systems are designed for the extreme reliability and scalability requirements of hyperscale and enterprise data center operations.

Microgrids are self-sufficient energy systems that can operate independently from the main utility grid. They typically combine solar generation, battery storage, and intelligent controls to provide reliable power in remote locations or during grid outages. Nerd has pioneered innovative microgrid solutions, including North America's first floating microgrid at Bartlett Lake Marina in Arizona.

Yes. We design layered power redundancy systems that ensure continuous operation during outages, equipment failures, or peak demand events. Solutions include battery storage, generator integration, automatic transfer switches, and intelligent load management—all engineered to meet your specific uptime requirements.

Yes. We partner with municipalities, state agencies, school districts, federal programs, public utilities, and transit authorities. Our team understands public procurement requirements, budget cycles, and accountability standards, delivering solutions that maximize taxpayer value while meeting all compliance requirements.

We have extensive experience navigating RFPs, cooperative purchasing agreements, and public bid requirements. Our proposals include full transparency on costs, timelines, and deliverables to support public review processes and council presentations. We also work with established cooperative purchasing programs to streamline procurement.

Absolutely. School districts are among our most valued partners. Solar energy protects education budgets from rising utility costs, redirecting savings to students, teachers, and programs. We design systems around school schedules, and many districts use their solar installations as hands-on STEM learning opportunities.

Yes. The Nerd Fund offers procurement-compliant financing structures specifically designed for public sector constraints—no bond measures, no capital outlay, and full compliance with state and federal requirements. Start saving from day one while meeting all transparency and accountability standards.

Absolutely. Traditional solar financing often requires tax liability to capture incentives—leaving nonprofits behind. Through the Nerd Fund's PPA structure, we own and maintain the system while you simply purchase the power at a locked-in, lower rate. No capital outlay, no tax credits needed—just savings from day one that you can redirect to your mission.

Through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Nerd captures the federal tax credits and depreciation benefits, then passes those savings to you through reduced energy rates. You pay nothing upfront, own no equipment, and receive predictable energy costs typically 15-30% lower than utility rates. All maintenance and monitoring are included.

Yes. We've helped numerous churches and houses of worship reduce energy costs and redirect savings to missions, outreach, and ministry programs. Our team understands the unique decision-making processes of faith-based organizations and works within your timelines and requirements. Many congregations view solar as an expression of environmental stewardship aligned with their values.

We serve churches and houses of worship, charitable organizations, private schools and universities, community centers, healthcare nonprofits, and shelters and housing organizations. Any 501(c)(3) or tax-exempt entity with significant electricity consumption is a potential candidate for our nonprofit solar program.

Our assessment begins with a review of your facility, energy usage patterns, and financial goals. We analyze utility bills, conduct site evaluations (often using satellite imagery initially), and assess roof or ground conditions. From this, we develop a custom proposal with system design, projected savings, and financing options tailored to your situation.

Yes. We manage the entire process from design through activation, including all permits, engineering reviews, utility interconnection applications, and inspections. Our team has established relationships with utilities and permitting authorities across our service areas, helping to streamline approvals and avoid delays.

We provide continuous performance monitoring, proactive maintenance, and responsive support for the life of your agreement. Our systems include real-time monitoring that alerts us to performance issues before they impact your savings. For PPA and lease customers, all maintenance is included at no additional cost.
