When contracted solely for origination services, Evolve focuses on line mapping DG infrastructure, landowner identification, landowner marketing, and contract negotiation, which allows us move faster and deliver better results than development teams that include origination as part of their development workflow. By utilizing our services, Evolve helps development teams hit their short-term goals and KPIs by quickly compiling projects into valuable portfolios, and we unburden developers to focus on other critical tasks like interconnection, zoning and permitting, and power marketing.
Be more nimble
Often solar and battery storage site acquisition requires developers to commit their resources to frequent, shorter duration campaigns, and Evolve understands the staffing challenges this volatility can place on managers. Developers who desire a true competitive edge can quickly deploy our land origination team to key markets without straining their full-time human resources. Therefore, Evolve becomes an extension of the development team and a force multiplier in new markets where they must secure precious land assets ahead of their competition.
