Solar and Storage Engineering Experience

Castillo Engineering has successfully completed over 10,000 solar and storage engineering projects to date and has over 35 years of engineering experience, 25 of which have been dedicated to solar energy and energy storage engineering. Castillo Engineering’s team of over 20 senior level solar and storage engineers are well versed on the latest products due to the fact that the firm’s extensive customer base across the country utilizes a wide variety of solar and storage products. 

Minimal Bill of Materials

As a result of several decades of solar and storage design and engineering experience, Castillo Engineering is uniquely able to minimize the number of materials needed for each project without compromising quality, resulting in drastically reduced project time and cost.

Industry Relationships

Castillo Engineering has and continues to maintain strong relationships with key individuals in all major areas related to construction, permitting, manufacturing and distribution, both on a local and national level. These relationships are often instrumental in securing permits faster, facilitating better communication and reducing the overall time needed to get complete projects. This ultimately saves EPCs and developers crucial time, funds and stress.

Fastest Turnaround Time

Castillo leads the market with the speed and accuracy of their designs. Castillo has reinvented the design process by utilizing in-house developed cutting edge design tools and project management software resulting in an extremely quick, industry leading, turnaround time.

UTILITY-SCALE ENERGY STORAGE APPLICATIONS

Most utility-scale battery storage systems perform several roles depending on system operation requirements and available revenue opportunities in specific markets. Frequency regulation remains the most common use for utility-scale batteries, but other uses are becoming more common as more batteries are added to the U.S. electric grid. From military bases to landfills to existing power plants, Castillo Engineering has provided its design and engineering expertise on a wide array of energy storage projects with applications that include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Frequency regulation

  • Ramping reserve 

  • Load following

  • Excess solar generation  

  • System peak shaving 

  • Energy arbitrage
