C&I SOLAR · EV CHARGING · ENERGY AUDITS
HEAT: 90/100 Signals Active

After July 4, the ITC math changes. The contractors who win 2027 are prospecting REIT facilities VPs right now.

OBBBA's 12-month safe harbor on the 30% ITC expires July 4, 2026 — and Wood Mackenzie's low case models roughly 30% less C&I solar capacity in 2026–27. The shops that thrive on the other side aren't waiting for the pipeline to thin. They're already in front of the CRE owners, REIT facilities VPs, and multi-site energy managers who'll buy retrofits, EV install, and audits when the credit math resets. The signals that telegraph that capex are public the day they file — REIT 10-Q capex lines, NEVI corridor awards, NABCEP/EVITP hires. We read them and put you in front of the buyer before the RFP.

Signals We're Monitoring
  • OBBBA / Section 48E safe-harbor cohort — projects racing the July 4 deadline
  • NEVI corridor awards by state DOT (Oregon, NYSERDA, PA and others)
  • REIT 10-Q sustainability & retrofit capex disclosures (EDGAR)
  • NABCEP / EVITP / OCPP-integration hiring posts (LinkedIn)
  • CRE portfolio owner + multi-site facilities VP capex signals
  • NEC 2026 Article 625 EV-charging compliance & CPO RFP cycles

For established C&I energy contractors doing $10M+ — solar EPCs, EV-charging installers with NABCEP/EVITP crews, and ASHRAE Level II/III audit firms — not residential lead-gen. We bring a sample week of safe-harbor, NEVI, and REIT-capex signals for your metro. Keep it whether we work together or not.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for the C&I energy contractors who sell to commercial real estate — not the residential pond.

One end-customer unites all three: the CRE owner-operator and multi-site facilities VP. The motion that wins them is ROI-first and account-based — not an ESG pitch deck.

$10M – $50M revenue
Commercial Solar EPCs

You're racing safe harbor to lock 30% ITC eligibility — and staring at a thinner 2027 pipeline. The contractors who survive the cliff are building outbound to REIT and CRE buyers now, while the panic is still in the deal flow.

$10M – $30M revenue
EV Charging Installers

NABCEP/EVITP techs, OCPP integration, CPO partnerships. Revenue is shifting from NEVI grants to private CRE/fleet site-host installs. We surface fresh NEVI awards within days and map the CRE portfolios buying private charging.

$5M – $20M revenue
Energy Audit Firms / ESCOs

ASHRAE Level II/III audits to REITs, hospitals, school districts, industrial portfolios. The buyer stopped buying ESG and started buying sub-24-month payback. We map the portfolios with capex still flowing and the ROI language to reach them.
