Harvest NRG

Harvest NRG specializes in the early-stage development of solar power plants by identifying and securing optimal sites. The company uses advanced geospatial methods and technologies to pinpoint ideal locations for solar arrays and acts as an intermediary between landowners and developers. Harvest NRG does not sell solar panels; instead, they contact property owners to determine interest in hosting a solar array and then facilitate introductions to their clients, who are eager to move forward with solar development. Since 2011, this systematic approach has helped realize over 700 Megawatts of solar capacity across more than 120 projects, typically focusing on 2-3 Megawatt ground-mounted fixed tilt plants but also working on utility-scale projects up to 100 Megawatts.

The company, which operates as Harvest NRG, Inc. and Electric Truck, LLC, also focuses on developing and marketing unique patented energy harvesting technologies. These emissionless and non-hazardous systems convert mechanical energy—such as the vibration and motion from roadways, vehicle suspensions, trains, and even buildings—into usable electric power. This technology has applications across vehicle, rail, maritime, and stationary use, providing an estimated energy savings of 1-9% and helping to reduce the need for bringing electric power to the site. The company controls exclusive worldwide rights to these technologies and has been recognized for its innovation, including being designated a “Company to Watch” by the Connecticut Technology Council in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
