Pro-Tech customizes financing package to balance each customer’s resources, expectations and return on investment while maintaining direct control over the entire design and construction process.
Individual client savings vary depending on a number of factors including local energy rates, type of facility, hours of operation and level of business activity. The company said that its self-funded model allows clients to minimize financial risks by paying a portion of the savings results over the contract term.
Pro Tech Energy added that this service approach assures the client that their project will be executed attention to the its five specialty areas, which include: energy efficiency evaluations and recommendations based on energy monitoring; PV system design, engineering, and installation; energy monitoring selection, installation and system commissioning; management and coordination of state and federal grant applications; and assistance in the long and short-term management and sale of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC).
Barry Skoultchi, president of Pro-Tech, said: “The upfront costs of installing energy-saving upgrades, such as solar panels and efficient lighting, present a daunting barrier to entry for public and private commercial property owners, especially schools and other municipal–run facilities.
”Recognizing this market inefficiency, Pro-Tech is creating a paradigm shift within the industry by allowing clients to make investments in energy upgrades with no upfront costs. This is possible by creating customized funding plans that maximize available federal, state and local rebates, tax credits and other incentives, augmented by funds secured by Pro-Tech.”
John Drexinger, investment partner of Pro Tech Energy, said: ”Existing buildings consume more than 70% of electricity and produce more than a third of the greenhouse gas pollution in the US.
”We believe our finance model will help streamline the market and enable the rapid adoption of energy efficient upgrades. It is Pro-Tech’s mission to help our clients understand that financial resources exist to help make energy upgrades as good for business as they are for the environment.”
