Garland Industries Inc. has launched a new subsidiary, Garland Energy Systems Inc., which is dedicated to making large-scale alternative energy solutions for commercial, industrial, and institutional customers as easy to purchase, install, and maintain as utility electricity.

CLEVELAND - Garland Industries Inc. has launched a new subsidiary, Garland Energy Systems Inc., which is dedicated to making large-scale alternative energy solutions for commercial, industrial, and institutional customers as easy to purchase, install, and maintain as utility electricity.

With a management team based in California and Cleveland, and sales representation across the U.S., the mission of Garland Energy is to help its customers achieve greater energy independence by seamlessly delivering specific energy performance outcomes. The company facilitates every aspect of solar system implementation, from preliminary analysis and technology selection, through financing, system integration, and on-going maintenance.

Sean Mulligan, California-based Garland Energy president, said Garland’s initial entry into the solar energy market was a direct response to customer concerns about rising energy costs.

“This new subsidiary demonstrates Garland’s commitment to providing seamless solutions to a new generation of customers who are looking for environmentally responsible, petroleum-independent building alternatives,” Mulligan said. “Although solar solutions currently dominate the alternative energy landscape, our field of vision remains as broad as the market itself, encompassing wind power and a full range of alternative energy-generating technologies.”

According to David Sokol, president of Garland Industries, Garland Energy is a direct and inevitable evolution of Garland’s on-going commitment to sustainable technologies.

“Garland has been helping organizations adapt to the ever-changing social and economic challenges of facility-infrastructure management since our founding in 1895,” Sokol said. “As one of our industry’s earliest adopters of sustainable initiatives, we have successfully integrated the capabilities needed to help our customers realize their visions for a fully sustainable future.”

Garland Energy provides its commercial customers with a comprehensive analysis of energy requirements, an objective evaluation of competing technologies, intelligent financing options, seamless implementation of energy-generating solutions, and diligent system monitoring and servicing after the sale.

Through its collaborations with other Garland Industries subsidiaries, Garland Energy is uniquely able to provide an unparalleled depth of infrastructural support for the total building envelope, including thorough roof inspection and analysis, comprehensive engineering services, and seamless design-build delivery. Garland has been developing partnerships with companies specializing in alternative energy solutions since 2003, and had already integrated several large-scale rooftop solar systems into its customers’ sustainable building designs, prior to launching its newest subsidiary.
