What Pure Power Engineering does

Pure Power Engineering is a privately held, Hoboken-based electrical engineering firm founded in 2011 that specializes in commercial, industrial, community, and utility-scale solar PV and energy storage projects. The firm provides a comprehensive suite of professional engineering services — Preliminary Engineering, Engineer of Record (EOR), System Design, Structural Engineering, Power Engineering, Civil Engineering, Interconnection Engineering, and Owner's Engineering — supported by sub-services including development support, performance validation, acquisition due diligence, PVSyst energy modeling, and design review. Its technical toolkit integrates industry-standard simulation platforms (PSCAD, PSS®E, ASPEN OneLiner, PVSyst, HelioScope, SAM) for electromagnetic transient analysis, steady-state power flow, protection coordination, and energy yield modeling across all 50 states.

The firm's customer base is split between solar developers and EPCs (e.g., Penn Renewables, Sunpeak, Nautilus Solar Energy) and Fortune 500 commercial & industrial end-customers (e.g., Amazon, Costco, Macy's, IKEA). Pure Power delivers AHJ-ready designs intended to pass inspection on first submission and to accelerate interconnection approvals through advanced grid studies and utility coordination. As of the most recent data, the firm reports 130+ in-house engineers (including 58+ project managers and Professional Engineers), 17,000+ completed projects, 8.6 GW+ of engineered solar and storage capacity, and 3,400+ designs at the 100 kW+ scale. It operates from five U.S. offices (Hoboken, Sacramento, Denver, Houston, Overland Park) and expanded via the 2023 acquisition of PV Pros.
