Energy infrastructure at industrial scale
Large-scale operations demand large-scale energy thinking. Somos was built specifically for this complexity. We combine deep technical expertise with rigorous financial modeling to deliver integrated energy solutions that protect your capital, your operations, and your future.
Typical Applications
We partner with the organizations whose energy demands are too complex and too critical for anything less than a fully integrated solution.
Large Commercial Facilities
- Warehouses
- Data Centers
- Retail Centers
Industrial operations
- Manufacturing plants
- Processing Facilities
Municipal and public infrastructure
- Water Treatment Plants
- Schools
- Airports
Multi-building campuses
- Universities
- Hospitals
- Business Parks
Physical Footprint & System Types
- 500 kW – 2 MW:
- Often rooftop or small ground-mount systems
- Fits on large commercial roofs or a few acres of land
- 2 MW – 10 MW:
- Typically ground-mounted or canopy/carport systems
- Requires ~10–60 acres depending on design and technology
- May include Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for demand management and resiliency
Key Characteristics
- 01.
Behind-the-meter or hybrid
Most projects offset on-site energy consumption, reducing utility bills and demand charges
- 02.
Interconnection complexity
More involved than small systems, but less complex than utility-scale transmission-level projects
- 04.
Engineering sophistication
Includes detailed load analysis, interconnection studies, and sometimes microgrid integration
Financial & Contract Structures
How You Finance It
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
No upfront cost. You simply buy the energy the system produces at a fixed, predictable rate.
Direct Ownership (CapEx)
Purchase the system outright and maximize long-term returns and tax benefits.
Lease or Energy-as-a-Service
Flexible arrangements with little to no capital investment required.
What You Gain
Energy Cost Savings
Reduce and stabilize your monthly energy bills for decades.
