Supporting Solar Growth

Day & Zimmermann (D&Z) entered the solar market in 2008 designing a 120-kW roof-mounted system for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Over the following years, we delivered dozens of successful installations, including parking canopies and a variety of roof- and ground-mounted systems. 

In 2021, building on over 40 years of trusted partnerships with utility clients in traditional power generation positioned us to actively pursue utility-scale solar projects, culminating in our selection as the primary contractor for 200 MW of utility-scale solar installations in West Virginia.

In 2023, D&Z made the strategic decision to begin delivering solar as a full-service engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) provider. With each successful project, we expand our capacity, sharpen our execution, and reinforce our long-term commitment to supporting the energy transition alongside our utility partners.
