There are several competitive advantages for GRES. First, there is a psychological “gap” between the technical service provider (Renewable Energy Service Company) and the commercial real estate professional (Renewable Energy User). The technical service providers are typically made up of engineers who have spent many years in research and development of their product. Real estate professionals are typically concerned with the “sticks and bricks” of providing a location for a company/retailer to operate. In past years, the technical service providers have been satisfied with the accomplishment of creating the technology and have been able to sustain their businesses in small niches such as government contracts or individual consumers. The commercial real estate professionals have been satisfied with the accomplishment of providing a space for businesses to operate and have sustained their business through collecting rent. The two had little reason to interact, however the simultaneous factors affecting both industries as mentioned above, is creating opportunities for both industries to capitalize on each other’s businesses. GRES has experience in both sectors and can “speak the language” at a level where each industry professional is comfortable and can bridge the gap in communication to implement the technology the Renewable Service Company has created into the mainstream “sticks and bricks” the commercial real estate professional has provided.
