Langan Helps Harness Clean Energy and Generate Savings with Solar Canopies

The real estate industry’s maxim of “highest and best use” applies to how we spend our time, effort, and … energy. Increasingly, corporations, colleges, hospitals, shopping centers, and many other clients are turning to Langan for due diligence and site planning to transform underused parking lots into solar-power assets.

Key elements of solar-canopy projects include initial engineering feasibility, permitting requirements, geotechnical testing for structural-support design, infrastructure design, traffic planning, GIS, and surveying. From the onset, Langan’s multidisciplinary approach to a project helps streamline the design process.

“Clients seeking solar development on their parking lots benefit from Langan’s integrated services and national reach,” said Christine Yeatman, Senior Project Manager, Langan. “Typically, once we support a specific project in one location, the client retains Langan on other sites nearby and across the country.”

With close to 50 locations nationwide, Langan has land development teams that seamlessly collaborate on numerous solar developments. Importantly, universities and healthcare systems realize significant savings by putting power back into the grid, which allows them to dedicate more budget to facilities for students, faculty, doctors, nurses, and patients.
