What distributed energy infrastructure does

Distributed Energy Infrastructure (DEI) is a privately held EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firm headquartered in Stuart, Florida that delivers turnkey solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects exclusively for clients in the United States. The company serves project developers, independent power producers, utilities, and asset owners — including Generate Capital, Syncarpha Capital, and Greenbacker Renewable Energy — who require execution on complex sites such as brownfields (former EPA Superfund locations), agrivoltaic installations over active farmland and cranberry bogs, and utility-scale solar-plus-storage plants. Across more than 500 cumulative projects, DEI's leadership team has built 1.2 GW of solar PV and 400 MWh of stand-alone and solar-coupled battery storage.

DEI's core service offering spans engineering design, equipment procurement, construction management, commissioning (including UL 9540 and UL 9540A-certified BESS work), and post-completion O&M support. The firm differentiates through three specialty capabilities: (1) agrivoltaic construction methods that protect sensitive soils and ecosystems, (2) brownfield solar expertise that requires multi-agency regulatory coordination and hazardous-material handling, and (3) advanced BESS commissioning integrating components from manufacturers such as JinkoSolar, Terrasmart (racking), and Array Technologies Inc. (single-axis trackers). A two-year partnership with AI Clearing adds a drone-based, computer-vision portfolio management layer for real-time progress tracking and early issue detection across geographically dispersed sites.

DEI monetizes through fixed-price or cost-plus EPC contracts bid individually per project, with revenue recognized on milestone or completion basis. Pricing is custom and non-public, varying by MW/MWh capacity, site complexity, and equipment specifications, with multi-year contract cadence. The company operates as a Florida LLC with 11–50 employees, is approved as an insured contractor by Travelers Insurance following full underwriting review, and grew in 2025 through office expansion, an electrician apprenticeship program, and its first marketing director hire. Its Acton, MA brownfield project was named a 2025 Project of the Year finalist by Solar Builder magazine.

Products and services

• EPC Services (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) Turnkey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction services exclusively dedicated to Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in the United States. Includes engineering design, equipment procurement, construction management, commissioning, and O&M support for renewable energy generation and storage assets. Customers are project developers, utilities, IPPs, and asset owners.
• Solar PV Systems Utility-scale and distributed solar photovoltaic energy generation systems delivered as EPC projects, including ground-mount, elevated agrivoltaic, and rooftop installations. Project sizes range from small community solar to multi-megawatt utility-scale plants.
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Stand-alone and solar-coupled battery energy storage systems delivered as EPC projects, using AC and DC coupled configurations. DEI designs, procures, constructs, and commissions BESS projects using equipment from manufacturers such as JinkoSolar, with systems ranging from 2.7 MWh to 21.6 MWh in size.
• Agrivoltaic Solar Projects Dual-use solar installations that combine solar energy generation with active agricultural production. Elevated solar arrays are installed over farmland, cranberry bogs, or pastures so that farming operations continue beneath the panels. Project examples include Blackcat (0.98 MW solar + 2.7 MWh BESS) and Ring Road (4.4 MW solar + 13.5 MWh BESS) in Massachusetts.
• Community Solar Projects Community solar installations that provide clean energy access to local subscribers, delivered as turnkey EPC projects. Project examples include the 2.9 MW West Genesee Solar Project and the 5 MW Cold Springs Solar Project in New York for Generate Capital, using ATI single-axis tracking and bifacial modules.
• Brownfield Solar Projects Solar EPC delivery on formerly contaminated or industrial sites (former EPA Superfund sites, chemical manufacturing facilities, gas stations, dry cleaners), transforming unusable brownfield land into productive solar and storage facilities. Includes coordinating with multiple regulatory agencies and managing hazardous material contingencies. Project example: 7.1 MW solar + 4 MW battery storage in Acton, MA for Syncarpha Capital.
• Commissioning and O&M Services Comprehensive commissioning and warranty services led by a Master Electrician team for solar PV and BESS assets, including asset tracking via QR codes, maintenance, and long-term support to ensure enduring dependability of distributed energy infrastructure.
