Who we build for

If it has a roof, a parking lot or a power bill, we can work with it.

Burge Energy serves developers and any commercial owner who needs solar, storage or charging, whether the building is on paper or already open.

System 01

Commercial solar

Commercial-grade photovoltaic systems engineered for production, durability and return. Structure, layout and interconnection are handled by the same company.

  • Rooftop, carport and ground-mount layouts
  • Structural review by the team that builds
  • Interconnection and utility coordination

System 02

Battery energy storage

Battery systems store energy, reduce peak demand charges and keep operations running through outages.

  • Peak shaving and demand-charge control
  • Backup power for critical loads
  • Stores excess solar for later use

EV charging infrastructure

EVSE installation for workplace, retail, fleet, municipal and multi-tenant sites.

  • Level 2 and DC fast chargers
  • Fleet charging with smart load management
  • Software, billing and reporting support
Peak demand

Why storage pays where solar alone can't.

Demand charges can represent 30 to 70 percent of a commercial electric bill.13 They are typically set by the highest interval of use in the billing period, so one late-afternoon spike can set the bill even with solar on the roof.

Solar lowers midday use. A battery discharges into the afternoon spike and brings the billed peak down.

Billed peak: 100 (indexed)
Peak occurs: 4 PM

Frequently asked

Questions owners ask first.

Straight answers on code, cost and timing.

Is solar required on new commercial buildings in California?

Under the 2022 California Energy Code, most new commercial buildings must include solar and battery storage, with the requirement taking effect January 1, 2023.17 Burge designs the energy systems alongside the structure so compliance is built in, not bolted on.

Can you add solar and storage to a building that is already open?

Yes. Burge Energy works on existing sites as well as new construction, and phases installation around tenants and operations.

What does a battery actually save?

Mostly demand charges, which can make up 30 to 70 percent of a commercial bill.13 Savings depend on your rate schedule and load profile, so every project starts with an analysis of real interval data.

Can solar and storage keep my site running in an outage?

Battery systems can maintain operations during outages when designed for backup. Critical loads are identified during design so the system is sized for what must stay on.

What EV chargers do you install?

Level 2 and DC fast chargers, fleet charging systems and smart load management, with support for software, billing and reporting.
