About Nuance Energy
Nuance Energy Group Inc. is an emerging renewable energy company, yet we already sell and distribute quality products to a loyal and growing fan base (an almost cult-like following, really) in 46 US states and five countries.
Since 2017, our mission has been to design, engineer and distribute trailblazing solar racking systems to save our customers time and money.
With every installation, our customers’ experience the true value of what we give them back…time! Customers love our product, and our competition is worried.
In 2020 and 2021 we received USPTO approval on utility and methodology patents for modular, transportable, and multi-configurable solar ground mount racking systems using earth anchor foundation technology and methodology patents to install and load test anchors. Our patents and innovative products have disrupted the USA solar industry and its archaic approach to engineering, deployment and field assembly of ground mount solar systems using traditional foundations and installation equipment.
Building on the tremendous success of our flagship product, the Osprey PowerPlatform®, in June 2022, we began manufacturing and commercialization of our product prodigy, the all-new, modular OSPREY PowerRack™.
The OSPREY PowerRack uses an innovative, pre-engineering approach to residential and commercial ground mount solar projects to better serve our loyal customers.
It delivers improved performance, installation efficiency & savings of both time and money. The modular OSPREY PowerRack dramatically reduces mobilization time, field construction complexity and costs and it even frees up man-hours (saving up to 72 hours on a residential ground mount install). This puts installation crews back on the roof, generating even more sales revenue in less time. These remarkable improvements—along with the ability to deploy the modular OSPREY PowerRack on various terrain, in any type of soil condition and across multiple vertical markets—also makes ground mount solar energy projects more practical and affordable at any scale.
In early 2023, Nuance Energy will have a network of 3PL distribution centers stocking the modular OSPREY PowerRack, while proudly saying, “Made in the USA.”
OUR MISSION
Design, engineer and distribute trailblazing solar racking systems that actually save customers (our loyal fans) time and money.
