HOLT acquires PCI Solar to form new construction firm HOLT Renewables

After acquiring regional solar installer PCI Solar, HOLT Companies has formed a national EPC, now named HOLT Renewables.
“HOLT has a heritage of innovation and believes in offering customers the highest level of quality, integrity and service,” explained HOLT CEO and General Manager Peter J. Holt. “We are excited to grow our capabilities and expertly service our clients by leveraging the prior experience, capability and passion of the HOLT Renewables team.”
Energy is one of the largest expenses for commercial clients, and solar is one of the most efficient ways to mitigate those costs. HOLT Renewables analyzes utility spend and use, assesses client facilities and feasibility, models financials, and secures engineering and procurement in order to help customers analyze and implement projects to meet their goals. HOLT Renewable’s team has decades of experience creating and constructing complex solar solutions for customers nationwide.
“We are encouraged by our partners who are focused on reducing emissions and saving money. Our team worked diligently to provide these companies with solutions to meet their needs,” explained Craig Alan Floyd, general manager of HOLT Renewables.
