Pickering Energy Solutions11283 Emerson Avenue, Parkersburg, West Virginia, United States

Pickering Energy Solutions is a West Virginia organization established to launch & encourage renewable energy generation and use within the Mid-Ohio Valley.Our mission is to encourage, develop and facilitate the use of solar and other forms of renewable energy.

• Within the US this is being achieved through education, installation and financing of renewable energy generation within the Mid-Ohio Valley.
• In Africa we achieve this through designing, installing and servicing solar PV systems, primarily in Liberia.

Through mission-related programs we have been designing off-grid power systems in Haiti, Uganda and Liberia since 2000. Pickering Energy Solutions, which was established in 2012, gives us a formal business platform from which to design, install and service solar PV systems.Renewable energy technologies have matured to the point where they can reasonably be incorporated into our lives with little impact on us while allowing us to live in a more environmentally friendly manner. Solar photovoltaic panels, which can be easily incorporated into a variety of building environments, often without visual impact, will produce over 6 times the amount of energy that it takes to make the panel over its 25 year lifecycle. Aside from having a significant impact on the environment (by avoiding the combustion of fossil fuels), with proper governmental incentives they are also a good financial investment.

Pickering Energy Solutions–we bring individuals and organizations that would like to incorporate renewable energy into their lives together with investors that are looking to invest in renewable energy technologies.We are able to do a needs assessment, identify opportunities and costs for the introduction of renewable energy systems to homes and businesses, and provide proposals for renewable energy systems. If the individual or business is unable to finance the installation, then we may be able to bring investors together to purchase and install the system. The individual or business would then pay PES for the value of the power produced by the renewable sources using the avoided costs from the power company.Programs such as this are called Power Purchase Agreements, and allow the individual to lock into fixed rates for their energy, thus providing savings over time. At some time in the future, when appropriate, the building owner or organization may elect to purchase the renewable energy system at a discounted price based upon the future energy production capacity of the system.
