Project Background: Achieving Energy Efficiency & Sustainability Through a Centralized Approach Residential real estate investment trust stimulates reliable property(…)
Electricity costs in the U.S. have continued to rise in recent years, making energy bills a larger—and often unpredictable—operating expense for businesses. Simultaneously, grid reliability is becoming more of a challenge thanks to extreme weather events and higher demand.
Businesses that rely solely on the power grid risk fluctuating energy costs and critical operational disruptions. The solution? Distributed generation (DG) solutions, including solar photovoltaic (PV), battery storage, generators, and microgrids, giving businesses control over their own energy supply to save money and ensure reliability.
Our turnkey process supports every step of your distributed generation rollout, from property selection to engineering and installation to incentive management.
Distributed generation is an energy solution that produces electricity on-site to reduce reliance on the grid. Many DG systems produce power through solar energy and house it in a battery storage solution to keep operations running during demand peak periods, throughout power outages, or when solar is not available.
Businesses with on-site DG solutions benefit from:
SitelogIQ helps businesses take control of their energy costs, reliability, and resiliency with tailored DG solutions.
SitelogIQ has extensive experience working with the nation’s largest commercial real estate portfolios, fleet operators, healthcare systems, auto dealership groups, and Fortune 1000 companies.
While any business that relies heavily on energy can benefit from a DG solution, the following may realize the highest benefits:
![]() |
Industrial Companies Manufacturing processes often run round the clock and the cost of energy or unexpected downtime can make or break profitability. DG solutions can help manufacturing and industrial companies reduce grid-powered energy consumption to keep production running profitably. |
![]() |
Hospitals and Healthcare Systems Hospitals and healthcare facilities operate 24/7, meaning energy usage is constant and any disruption puts patient care at risk. DG solutions can help manage rising costs while making facilities more climate resilient and maintaining the highest patient care standards. |

Auto Dealerships Auto dealerships require a high amount of energy to power showrooms, service centers, parking lots, and EV charging stations. DG systems help auto dealerships reduce operating expenses and create a more reliable charging infrastructure for EV drivers.

Commercial Real Estate Portfolios CRE owners and operators—especially those with multi-tenant properties—face increased operating expenses, disrupted operations, and poor tenant satisfaction with traditional grid reliance. DG can boost net operating income (NOI), create new revenue streams, and meet sustainability and investor demands. |
SitelogIQ helps rapidly plan, roll out, and measure the impact of DG solutions. In addition to being a consultant and a contractor, we’re also your one-stop strategic partner to swiftly create and execute programmatic DG solutions.
Here’s what you gain from our partnership:
“SitelogIQ strengthens our energy efficiency strategy by helping us identify all available energy efficiency opportunities within our portfolio, so we’re never leaving money on the table.”
