As a client focused service provider, we are continually vested to bring value and maximum impact solutions. Our Project Management or Owners Representative services are the key to completing the project efficiently the first time. But don’t worry if you have a project and chose the wrong contractor, installer or EPC because that’s where CRG excels. With our out of the box thinking and expert approach we can take over a project for an owner or developer and get it back on track to minimize losses. CRG understands that the PV world can be difficult. There are always obstacles that create critical path issues and can cause delays and cost overruns. The CRG project team has the experience and performs the appropriate due diligence to stay in front of potential issues. We have provided our clients with millions of dollars in savings and have successfully reduced years off of systems IRR’s to increase profitability. The financing of the projects is the key to sustainability, we understand that and make that the priority for our clients.
