8minutenergy

8minutenergy develops, finances, engineers, constructs, acquires, operates, and maintains solar projects. Their projects target all the regions of the United States, including California the largest renewable energy market in the US - where the demand for our power is most excellent. Each of our 8-minute solar PV projects generates local build-and-operate jobs and additional business and service jobs. 8minutenergy's unique ownership process speeds up permitting and development by selecting land sites and technologies that mitigate risk and lower approval hurdles. The power grid analysis and detailed land assessments are used to determine optimal power plant locations, which are then validated for economic feasibility. As a result, and the extensive experience of our veteran team, our development time frame is usually much faster than other solar developers. They prefer to build their solar projects on "disturbed" land (for example, low-value farmland) to reduce environmental impact and obtain permits faster. Access to a distribution or transmission network is critical, and 8minutenergy has developed specific processes to ensure that our projects can connect quickly and with little investment.
