Davis Hill Development plans for 30% growth thanks to C&I project modeling efficiency
Skyview Ventures forecasts 30% growth in total projects, due in large part to the speed and accuracy of its C&I modeling in HelioScope. A designer can design a C&I solar project in 20 minutes vs. 2-4 hours requiring an engineering team.
Skyview, via its solar development company Davis Hill Development (DHD), has been a trailblazer in the renewable energy sector since its inception in December 2008. As a cleantech private equity firm with a focus on environmental commodities, solar project finance, electric vehicle infrastructure, and early-stage startups, Skyview Ventures relies on innovation and technology to stay ahead of the competition.
“HelioScope has our operational landscape,” says Micah Brill, Head of Development and Asset Management, Davis Hill Development. “Its rapid and precise solar generation estimates have sharpened our competitive edge, allowing us to design and propose a greater number of projects efficiently. This tool is central to our strategy, significantly boosting both our project success rate and our credibility in the clean energy market.”

C&I Challenges
Challenges abound in the dynamic landscape of the clean energy sector, and the C&I segment is no exception. One of the foremost challenges is harmonizing solar generation potential with economic feasibility, a delicate balancing act necessary for delivering substantial savings to property owners and ensuring profitability.
The clean energy space is fraught with uncertainty — especially when committing to long-term agreements of 20 or 25 years — making precise generation potential estimates paramount. Amidst the competitive pressures of the market, the need for realistic production estimates becomes critical. Existing solutions often fall short, lacking the customization and efficiency required to navigate these challenges effectively. To put the main challenges into perspective:
- Accelerating sales throughput while maintaining design and production accuracy
- Bidding competitively while ensuring profitability
- Scaling quickly to grow the sales pipeline
Why HelioScope?
HelioScope’s user-friendly interface has simplified the complex world of solar energy, making it accessible and easy for their team members to grasp. The unparalleled accuracy of production estimates provided by HelioScope has become the cornerstone of data-driven decision-making, allowing DHD to operate with unwavering confidence.
- Speed and ease of use: HelioScope is the fastest, easiest-to-use C&I solar design tool. But it’s not just fast, it’s also accurate. Its accuracy is comparable to other tools that require engineering skills — and anywhere from 2 to 10 times the amount of time. APIs, native integrations, and compatibility with other tools further streamline and optimize design workflows.
- Comprehensive use cases: HelioScope can design a range of solar systems, from rooftops to carports to multi-megawatt ground mount systems with trackers.
- Accuracy: LIDAR-assisted shading analysis, a 50,000 component library, global weather files, condition set customization, and a powerful production model (within 1% of PVsyst accuracy) deliver accurate designs and production estimates that help customers bid confidently and underwrite financing.
- Scalability: HelioScope’s onboarding processes are designed for efficiency, enabling team members to swiftly become proficient solar specialists — fostering a collaborative and knowledgeable workforce. Speed, ease of use, APIs, and integrations can help customers scale without growing teams and adding processes and tools.
By equipping them with efficiency, credibility, and competitive advantage, HelioScope ensures that Skyview Ventures remains at the forefront of the clean energy revolution, ready to embrace the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and innovation.
