Powering Industry Without Upfront Cost: A Simple Guide to Our Energy-as-a-Service Process for Manufacturers

By Positive Phil

In today’s energy landscape, industrial and manufacturing companies are facing unprecedented pressure—from rising utility rates and grid instability to ESG targets and increasing investor scrutiny. At the same time, renewable technologies like solar PV, battery storage, and gas cogeneration have matured to the point where they offer real cost savings, carbon reduction, and reliability benefits—without the massive upfront cost.

That’s where Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) comes in.

PACIFICOENERGY.COM makes clean energy simple, affordable, and risk-free for industrial and manufacturing partners. Our model eliminates capital expenditure by designing, building, and maintaining energy systems at your site—while you simply pay for the energy you use, often at a discount to utility rates.

This blog outlines our straightforward 5-step process to show how we help industrial clients transition to lower-cost, cleaner, and more resilient energy—with no CapEx, no hassle, and rapid ROI.

Why Energy-as-a-Service Is a Game-Changer for Manufacturing

The traditional route to solar or on-site energy—engineering firms, consultants, and navigating complex incentives—can be overwhelming. Most manufacturers don’t have the time or internal resources.

That’s why our Energy-as-a-Service model is so powerful:

  • ✅ No upfront capital — we handle the costs of design, permitting, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • ✅ Lower energy bills — we provide power at a fixed or variable rate that beats your current utility spend.
  • ✅ One partner — for solar, batteries, hybrid microgrids, and long-term energy optimization.
  • ✅ Flexible contracts — we offer Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Energy Service Agreements (ESAs), and lease models.
  • ✅ End-to-end service — we monitor and maintain the system, so you stay focused on your core business.

Our 5-Step Energy Development & Sales Process (Simple, Clear, Proven)

We’ve streamlined the journey from inquiry to installation into five simple stages. Whether you’re a national manufacturer or a local industrial processor, this system ensures speed, transparency, and results.


Step 1: Initial Contact & Site Discovery

Our process starts with a quick, obligation-free conversation—often triggered by:

  • A form fill or inquiry from your team
  • Outreach from our development reps
  • Referral from one of our industry partners

We typically ask for:

  • Your facility address(es)
  • A recent utility bill (for load profile & rates)
  • Any high-level operational insights (24/7 ops? Shift work? Cold storage?)

This allows us to conduct a high-level feasibility scan using satellite imagery, NREL solar data, and internal cost models to assess your site for solar, storage, or hybrid systems.

🔎 Bonus: If you’re in a “high-irradiance zone” or your site has clear rooftop or land availability, we flag you for a fast-track proposal.


Step 2: Free Custom Energy Assessment

Next, we provide a detailed site-specific energy plan, which includes:

  • Energy generation forecast (solar yield modeling)
  • System sizing and hardware configuration
  • Bill savings projection and tariff analysis
  • Financial comparison (utility vs. EaaS)
  • Emissions savings and ESG impact summary
  • Preliminary design layout (roof, canopy, carport, or ground-mount)

🧠 Our energy engineers use tools like Helioscope, Aurora Solar, and HOMER Grid to model both technical and economic performance.

You’ll receive this proposal in a clean, easy-to-read PDF—often within 7–10 business days.


Step 3: Commercial Offer & Financing Structure

We offer flexible commercial options tailored to manufacturers:

🔹 Option A: Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

  • You pay for energy produced
  • No CapEx or O&M costs
  • Locked-in energy price (e.g., $0.08/kWh vs. utility $0.13/kWh)
  • 10–25 year terms

🔹 Option B: Energy Service Agreement (ESA)

  • Broader savings model including demand charge reductions, peak shaving, load shifting
  • Often includes battery storage
  • Performance-based billing

🔹 Option C: Capital Lease / Shared Savings

  • For clients who want more ownership or hybrid capex/opex benefits

We also clarify any available tax incentives, rebates, or grants you may be eligible for, including:

  • 30%+ Investment Tax Credit (ITC) – expiring soon under current legislation
  • State and local solar incentives
  • Utility demand response or storage participation

📣 Urgency note: As of mid-2025, the ITC may be reduced by the current administration’s “Big Bill.” We urge industrial clients to act before July 31, 2025, to lock in full federal benefits.


Step 4: Design, Permitting & Construction

Once your team signs a Letter of Intent (LOI) or ESA/PPA contract, we handle everything from design to energization:

  • Site walkthrough and engineering review
  • CAD design & PE stamps
  • Utility interconnection and AHJ permitting
  • Procurement (modules, inverters, batteries, switchgear)
  • Safety and QA planning
  • Construction & commissioning

⏱️ Most systems are live in 3–6 months from contract to commissioning. We work hard to avoid business disruption, and many installs occur over weekends or during off-peak hours.


Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring, Savings & Support

Post-installation, we provide full monitoring, operations, and maintenance. You’ll receive:

  • Live dashboards with production vs. savings
  • Monthly utility bill reconciliation
  • ESG and carbon reporting tools
  • Predictive maintenance and service dispatch
  • Optional battery dispatch optimization (AI-driven)

We’re your long-term energy partner, always working to reduce costs and improve system efficiency.

📈 And yes—most clients see 10–30% savings on day one, with greater ROI over time as utility rates increase.


Why Act Now? (Especially in 2025)


There are three reasons manufacturers should act urgently:

  1. Federal ITC uncertainty — A July 2025 legislative change could slash project returns by 20–30%.
  2. Utility inflation — U.S. industrial energy rates are rising faster than CPI.
  3. First-mover advantage — Sites that deploy now can maximize solar production by year-end.

FAQs for Manufacturers

Q: Will this affect my operations or production schedule?

A: No. We schedule work to avoid disruption and typically install with minimal or zero downtime.

Q: What happens if I sell the facility?

A: All agreements are transferable to the new owner or can be bought out under pre-agreed terms.

Q: Can this help me meet ESG or Scope 2 targets?

A: Absolutely. Our systems reduce grid electricity use and deliver a clear Scope 2 emissions reduction.

Q: What if I already have a solar array?

A: We offer repowering and battery add-ons for legacy systems. Many clients double savings with upgrades.
