Celebrating IPOWER’s Efforts
Building together
As we look back on another incredible year of projects and progress, we want to take a moment to recognize the people who truly make it all happen. From our manufacturing partners to the engineers, truck drivers, electricians, and solar installers — we are incredibly proud to work alongside more than 30 partner companies who have created over 500 local jobs through our projects! Together, this network of dedicated individuals delivers innovative custom solutions for our customers while strengthening our local economy.
The Backbone of Our Projects: Our Team of Subcontractors
In every project we take on, there is a vast network of professionals working behind the scenes that we have vetted and cultivated over the years. Without them, our success would not be possible. Let’s take a closer look at the different people who make up our team of partners:
- Key Partner: VPS and their industrial hail canopies are key to our hail protection solution. We’ve custom designed the solar-integration for a one-of-a-kind design that results in a faster ROI with expanded hail coverage.
- Technicians & Installers: These experts bring our projects to life by ensuring that every detail is handled with precision and care. They are often the first faces our customers see and are the hands that turn blueprints into real-world installations. From electricians to journeymen, these professionals are the true backbone of our work.
- Engineers & Project Managers: Behind every great project is a team of engineers and project managers who make sure everything runs smoothly. They plan, strategize, and ensure that each job is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. Their attention to detail ensures everything is up to code and works seamlessly.
- Truck Drivers & Logistics Teams: Our truck drivers play a crucial role in transporting materials, equipment, and goods to our job sites. From moving large shipments to coordinating logistics, they keep the operation running efficiently, ensuring that everything arrives when and where it’s needed.
- Solar Installers & Specialized Contractors: With the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions, our skilled solar installers have been a vital part of our projects. Along with them, our partners in boring companies, lighting contractors, and other specialized trades help create the infrastructure for renewable energy and modern building practices.
- Manufacturers & Material Suppliers: The materials we use to create these projects don’t just appear on our job sites. There’s an entire ecosystem of manufacturers, designers, and suppliers behind every piece of equipment or material, from construction-grade steel to state-of-the-art solar panels that continuously improve year over year. These manufacturers work tirelessly to ensure we have the highest quality resources needed to bring our projects to life.
A Look at Our Recent Projects: The People Behind the Work
Each of our projects is a collaborative effort, with so many talented individuals working together to achieve success. Here’s a snapshot of a few of our recent projects and the people who made them possible:
Project 1: The Faricy Boys
- Goal: Add EV charging for the service bay.
- Solution: IPOWER installed multiple Level 2 and Level 3 (DCFC) chargers at 3 locations. While consulting The Faricy Boys, we were able to fine tune the installation to also include additional funding for public charger installations while also upgrading LED lighting for better efficiencies and cost savings.
- Team Involved: IPOWER Alliance’s team made this project happen with 10 different companies creating over 80 jobs for these 3 projects. We worked with two Colorado-based transportation companies for deliveries, five skilled electrical teams for infrastructure, boring, bollards and installs, local utilities for grants, and local engineering and design firms.
Project 2: Hampton Inn Boulder-North
- Goal: Add overnight charging stations for guests.
- Solution: IPOWER installed 3 sets of Level 2 EV Chargers.
- Team Involved: IPOWER Alliance’s team made this project happen with 3 different companies creating over 24 jobs for this one project. We worked with a Colorado-based transportation company for charger deliveries, a team of 14 electricians and supporting staff to handle the primary and secondary infrastructure as well as installs, grant work with the local utility involving 5 more people, and a locate company for 2 additional.
Project 3: Transwest
- Goal: Protect fleet vehicles at 7 different locations.
- Solution: IPOWER is installing solar-integrated hail canopies at each site utilizing the local state and federal tax incentives and utility grants to improve ROI.
- Team Involved: IPOWER Alliance’s team made this project happen with 10 different companies creating over 275 jobs for these 7 projects. Each site is unique and IPOWER worked closely with three transportation companies for delivery of solar panels and the VPS canopies. Engineering was required for each custom site as well as construction and electrical crews for structure installation, trenching, lighting installs, and solar installs with up to 55 people involved for each. After physical installation, the intelligent energy management team of 6 implement updates to provide even more savings.
