Renua works with community solar project developers in the Northeast with a focus on New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

On the EV Charge side of our business, our focus is on Upstate New York and Western Massachusetts. 

You've probably seen them popping up in many locations. Solar farms or fields are now quite common in New York, offering a way for project developers to invest in clean energy and electricity consumers to subscribe to clean energy.

Renua plays a key role in community solar projects through our project development services. From engineering to planning board appearances, from environmental analysis to visualizaion modelling, Renua helps community solar project developers make their projects a reality.

While our PV Services page covers our offerings in detail, we focus on the needs of our specific customer, augmenting their in-house and outsourced capabilities. 

We aim to offer a turn-key solution that offers a broad spectrum of services from which our clients may choose.

Electric vehicles are quickly making an impact in our lives and an increasing percentage of on-the-road vehicles will be electric in the coming years. 

Offering a service for your customers, employees, and vehicle fleets at a time when the incentives are strong is a wise business move. 

As a small business looking to distinguish yourself from the comopetition, offering charging as a paid-for service or a free amenity can bring in new clients who are above-average income earners. 

Businesses and multi-unit residential property owners can also use EV charging stations as a revenue generator by offering charging as a paid-for service. 

New York State and the federal government offer incentives for EVSE (electric vehicle service equipment) hosts. 

Utility companies in the state offer a Make Ready incentive to businesses, non-profits, and municipalities. These incentives offset a substantial portion of the costs associated with making a site ready for EV charging stations. 

Check with your tax professional to explore the federal and state tax incentives and depreciation potential associated with EVSE.

Electric vehicle chargers are recognized in 3 levels:

Level 1 - AC 120V

Level 2 - AC 208/220V

Level 3 - DC 480V

The two main differences between the three levels are cost of the charger and speed of the charge. 

A Level 1 charger can be plugged into any normal 120V outlet. It will typiclly charge an electric vehilce (depending on the battery size) from 0% to 80% in about 48 hours. They can be carried in the vehilce and used where other, faster chargers are not available.

A Level 2 charger must be installed by an electrician whether it's in a residential or commercial application and run at 208V or 220V and come in a range of amperages from about 16A to 80A. They can typically charge an electric vehicle from 0% to 80% in about 4-10 hours.

A Level 3, or DC Fast Charger, ranges from 50kW to about 300kW and are typically found in commercial or municipal locations primarily along heavily travelled routes. These units can charge a typical electric vehicle from 0% to 80% in about 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on their power rating.

Yes. The software can generally be configured to offer the charging service for free or to charge the user a rate per kWh. In some cases, the software may also offer discount codes or differing rates for different days or time of day. 

Renua is "hardware agnostic." What that means is that we are not married to any particular hardware solution. 

We are focused on the best solution for our customers and that means that if you have a hardware solution, we can install it. If you need us to specify and procure hardware, we can do that, too. 

Our only goal is to make sure that you get the hardware, software, and services solution that is right for your business and your application.
