Energy systems built around operational reality

Commercial Energy Solutions

Commercial resilience planning begins with operations: occupancy, equipment, peak demand, continuity requirements, site constraints, and the way a business needs to function through an outage.

Planning pathway
Who this is for

Offices, retail, hospitality, restaurants, warehouses, multifamily properties, agricultural operations, and other Arizona commercial decision-makers.

The design question

The plan needs to align resilience and energy goals with operations, facilities, financial decision-making, and future growth.

What AER evaluates

Questions that help shape the right next step.

Early planning does not replace final engineering, permitting, site evaluation, equipment selection, or contractual proposals. It gives those steps a more informed starting point.

01

Operationally critical loads and outage scenarios

02

Energy use, demand profile, and site opportunity

03

Solar, storage, generator, carport, and EV options

04

Phasing, coordination, and long-term expansion

Avoid a false sense of readiness

Common ways a system plan gets simplified too soon.

These are not reasons to delay a project. They are reasons to ask more useful questions before the property is committed to an approach.

Applying a residential approach to commercial operations

Focusing only on generation without continuity planning

Ignoring peak or simultaneous loads

Skipping stakeholder and operational coordination

Start the planning conversation

Organize the first inputs before a project review.

The separate Energy Planner considers usage, critical loads, storage, power, and runtime. Use it for a structured preliminary plan, then bring the results into a Project Review.
