About Us

Our team will find
the most optimal and
cost-effective path to
revive your project.

As existing solar assets begin to age, there are opportunities to renovate underperforming "problem" assets. The wind industry has been repowering assets for decades and now the business model makes sense for solar.

CSS Repower helps solar asset owners evaluate underperforming sites and turn them into profitable investments. We offer a complete in-house solution with technical, financial, and regulatory expertise to complete a full-cycle transaction. Our team provides a holistic approach, with a proven track record of delivering successful repowering projects for independent power producers and our investors.

​We also purchase, repower and maximize solar power farms that asset owners don’t have the time or resources to redevelop internally.
