HOW WE DO IT

EXPERIENCE THE IMPACT

Debra Nauta-Rodriguez I VP of Facilities Planning and Management, Catholic University of America

"Optony provided invaluable guidance and support for our West Campus Solar Array development, through all phases of the project from inception through operations. We continue to rely on Optony for their review and insight during our ongoing operational relationship with the developer. Optony's expertise in the energy sector is foundational to our continued partnership."

Marian Brown, I Director of Sustainability & Environment,

Wells College

"We were receiving several unsolicited solar offers and we needed help wading
through the market and ensuring we took the best approach. Optony helped us understand the
policy environment and tease out our best options for solar development. The also filed an
interconnection application on our behalf just before a major regulatory change was enacted
which allowed us to preserve a higher value for our solar project.”"
