Apadana
Apadana was founded in 2013 by electrical and mechanical engineers who committed their expertise to delivering energy conservation and renewable energy generation solutions with a commitment to customer cost savings and environmental benefits. Apadana enables its customers to conserve electrical power through the replacement of inefficient lighting systems, HVAC, and signage with LED and digital controls technology. Renewable energy is generated with solar PV systems, EV Charging stations for residential and commercial uses and waste-to-energy biogas production. The long-term goal is to lower use and add production to approach Net Zero energy consumption. The Company’s commitment to engineering has set it apart from others offering similar products and services. That’s because we install what we design, which lets us use unique products and/or approaches that improve efficiency and lower out-of-pocket costs. Our commitment to each and every customer, large and small, is that when they work with Apadana, they will receive the best product, at the best value, installed by the best people, delivering the best return on their investment.
