Meet Your New Project Developer, Consultant & EE Expert
|
Amanda Homa is the consultant, project developer and lighting expert behind Parakeet. Her incredible attention to detail, dedication to her clients, and wealth of knowledge pertaining to lighting technology and program eligibility produce faster project turn-around times and high-accuracy energy savings estimates.
When energy efficiency projects first started being incentivized and funded by California utilities, they were easy to navigate. But with each year, these projects and programs become more and more complex. Parakeet is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve. It has become more common to run into existing onsite generation (e.g. solar) when auditing a project for potential energy efficiency measures, and Amanda has been recognized as an expert in analyzing and navigating the effects of existing solar generation on potential lighting projects. At times when contractors were ready to give up on such projects, Amanda has been able to step in to successfully develop them and even get them approved for OBF loans. While Amanda specializes in LED lighting projects implemented through utility rebate/incentive and On-Bill Financing (OBF) programs, she has also assisted contractors in understanding lighting technology, performing effective audits and more. |
