RGS believes that a good deal is mutually profitable for all parties involved. We are an unconventional green energy firm in that we have a very open mind when it comes to customer inclusivity. We offer multiple deal structures that can be custom tailored to each client’s needs financially and operationally, ranging from fully funded, to joint venture, and federal/grant funded opportunities. Our strategic partners allow us the flexibility to craft unique business structures and capabilities.

Our team has substantial experience with working hand in hand with Native American Tribal Members and has a successful track record of safely completing Infrastructure development projects on Reservations across the Western US. We are excited to help execute Feasibility Analysis studies, Cost-Benefit Analysis, and a myriad of other processes to help develop and produce your vision.

With personal attachments to residents on reservations, RGS is intimately aware of need for reliable and self sufficient microgrid power. We are anxious to not only initiate efforts on commercial projects but also enthusiastic to help plan and install power solutions for all tribal members on the reservation.

Land Leasing – Purchasing Negotiations / Land Owner Relations

The Red Grade team understands most of the Nation’s projects will be built on tribal land; however, should the need to negotiate land acquisition and/or leasing, our team has substantial experience. We act decisively and aggressively on your behalf to protect the Nation’s interests and preserve forward momentum. With over 45 years of combined land man experience, RGS gets projects through some of most time-consuming aspects of project planning efficiently and amicably.

Engineering and Permitting

Engineering for any project typically slows down the maturing process. With our expansive relationships and capabilities, we employ the very best in the business to expedite this time swallowing aspect of the planning process. Our sub-contracted engineers and civil planners work carefully to cater to all sizes of installations and power needs. Whether a single structure home or large-scale utility, they take tremendous pride in supplying our installation contractors with the most digestible and efficient solutions.

We often utilize the same engineering and permitting firms to streamline the strategic planning process and minimize cross communication. While the reservations in the United States have their own stipulations associated with development projects, specific nuances inevitably arise and must be dealt with. Should projects require additional permitting efforts Red Grade Solar has the ability to call in reinforcements to keep your projects on schedule.

Our team has been able to secure exclusive distribution rights for multiple high efficiency – high output green technologies including battery tech and panel tech that allow us to deliver top quality hardware at very competitive prices. Our sourcing abilities also allow us to get the equipment needed on our schedule without having to compete with other consumers.

The procurement process doesn’t stop at securing price points from vendors, the delivery and transportation of said bulk materials is vital.

Strategic Planning

“Failure to plan, is planning to fail.”

Red Grade Solar takes the power and schedule requirements from our customers when first formulating the viability of each potential project. RGS boasts more than 75 years of combined strategic planning most of which were energy infrastructure development projects. Combining our teams’ decades of multi-faceted project planning ensures that the inevitable wrinkles in all projects are minimized if not eliminated. We lead the orchestra from start to finish to enable our customers to focus on their already full plates. Weaving engineering, surveying, permitting, contractor vetting, bid writing/awarding, documentation administration, procurement, transportation, safety, troubleshooting, and commissioning simultaneously is what we do.

Vendor Management and Bid Vetting

Vendor vetting and selection is a service we take great pride in. The managing partners at Red Grade are seasoned professionals who have spent their careers dealing with suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers. Our group of approved vendors is populated by only the very best. We only utilize industry professionals with proven track records. Our vetting process is rigorous and helps to minimize back end legal issues and protects our customers with quality, safety, and accountability. Our vendor relations help us keep our word to our customers, we have an unparalleled group.

RGS’s involvement in developing project scope and viability enables us to write all Requests for Proposal and bid letting for services and materials. After vendors have been qualified to operate on the project, RGS can award and schedule every and all aspects of kick off.

Vendor / Supplier Accountability

The final step to dealing with vendors is holding everyone accountable. Keeping record of all activities, deliveries, warranties, assurances, safety practices, schedules and completions is a daunting task for the uninitiated. We have developed very secure and accountable practices for our vendors, which materialize in a very easily managed and maintained finish product for our customers.

- Commissioning and Hand Over

Our team makes a pledge to take projects from conception to commissioning, and that’s exactly what we do. Once original scopes have been completed by our trusted team of installation professionals, we will oversee the troubleshooting process to ensure a hassle-free activation. Our facilities enter their production lifespan only after a rigorous array of safety, durability, and production tests have been done.

- Community Involvement

We founded this company with the pledge to encourage positive economic development and philanthropy in the communities to which we serve. RGS wants to help create and develop community outreach programs, as well as industry related job training opportunities.
