Contact UsAt SimuTech Group, our mission is to empower innovation through advanced engineering solutions. In 2024, we partnered with GreenSpark Solar to install a 90.21 kW rooftop solar array at our Rochester headquarters, showcasing our commitment to renewable energy and sustainable business practices. This collaboration underscores our leadership in renewable energy consulting, as we continue to help businesses optimize clean energy strategies through simulation.
For over 40 years, we’ve worked with clients across North America, spanning industries like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy, to provide cutting-edge simulation solutions through Ansys simulation software and expert engineering consulting services. By integrating solar energy into our operations, we’re demonstrating the real-world impact of sustainable practices and engineering excellence right here in Rochester.
A Collaborative Approach to Renewable Energy
Our transition to solar would not have been possible without the expertise and dedication of GreenSpark Solar. As our trusted partner, GreenSpark Solar has been charged with the design, installation, and maintenance of our solar array, ensuring a seamless and efficient implementation.
As a result, within the first month of operation, we saw a 50% drop in energy costs, with projected annual savings exceeding $7,000 and a 25-year total savings of over $243,000.
“Our solar initiative reflects our commitment to both innovation and leadership,” says John Ilijevski, SimuTech Group’s Chief Operating Officer. “Partnering with GreenSpark Solar was essential to making this vision a reality. As a Rochester Top 100 company and a repeated D&C Top Workplace, we’re proud to collaborate with a like-minded organization to set an example for sustainable business practices.”
The Environmental and Operational Impact
The benefits of SimuTech’s solar project extend far beyond its financial savings. With GreenSpark Solar’s expertise, our solar array offsets over 75 tons of CO2 emissions annually, which is the equivalent to removing 170,000 miles of gas-powered vehicle travel from the roads, or keeping over 3,000 trash bags from ending up in landfills.
These measurable impacts reflect our commitment to environmental stewardship and are some of the values we bring to every renewable energy consulting project we undertake. Through our expertise in engineering simulation technology, we help clients design and optimize renewable energy systems like solar panels, hydro power installations, wind turbines, and energy grids. Our solutions maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure long-term performance with limited environmental impact, enabling businesses to ethically achieve their sustainability goals.
Taking Advantage of Smart Incentives with GreenSpark Solar
SimuTech’s solar installation was made possible with support from a NYSERDA grant and the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Our partners at GreenSpark Solar guided us through the process, ensuring that we maximized available incentives to make our transition to solar both cost-effective and impactful.
By combining GreenSpark’s implementation expertise with SimuTech’s engineering and simulation capabilities, we’ve created a model for sustainable innovation that businesses can replicate.
