Generation & Shore Power
Solar PV, solar canopies, vertical & dock-mounted solar, floating solar, backup power, and 480V shore power for facilities and vessels.
Independent advisory for energy, storage, and resilient infrastructure — from strategy through deployment. We help owners, developers, investors, ports, and institutions evaluate, commercialize, and deploy the next generation of clean energy systems. We work for you — strategy that carries all the way through to outcomes.
Plenty of firms will write you a report. Fewer can size a battery, model the tariff, structure the grant, vet the installer, and stay on through commissioning. Tidal works the whole arc — independent strategy that sees the entire system, coordinates the right people, and carries through to what actually gets built and how it performs.
Technical & commercial due diligence, market assessment, feasibility, and independent evaluation of the real opportunity.
Strategy, system design, economics and financing structure, incentives, and the plan that fits your goals and constraints.
Partner and contractor coordination, owner's advisory, interconnection, procurement, and execution through commissioning.
Monitoring, optimization, resilience planning, and long-term advisory as systems, markets, and incentives evolve.
From a dock outlet to a utility-scale battery, from an island home to a working port — Tidal plans, coordinates, and future-proofs the full range of clean energy and resilient infrastructure. Independent, transparent, built to deploy and to last.

Festival & event producers, music tours, outdoor shows, and coastal celebrations cutting emissions, noise, and fuel cost with cleaner power.
High-cost waterfront operators managing demand, uptime, and sustainability goals across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic coast.
Three phases, transparent pricing, no pressure. Engage where you need to and step up only when it makes sense.
Cut demand charges, fuel, and energy spend through right-sized storage, solar, and rate strategy.
Sequence capital with grants, incentives, and phased investment so projects pay their own way.
Backup power and microgrids keep critical loads — refrigeration, comms, fueling — running through outages.
Reliable charging, clean power, and modern amenities keep tenants, members, and crews coming back.
Tidal grows through trusted partners, not cold pipelines. We welcome affiliate, sponsor, broker, and reseller relationships across the coastal energy ecosystem — moving in both directions.
Brokers, contractors, and advisors who send qualified coastal energy opportunities can structure transparent referral arrangements. Clean terms, fair splits.
We route work to vetted installers, EPCs, OEMs, and finance partners across solar, storage, charging, and marine systems. Fit the network and we send business your way.
Structured affiliate, product, and sponsor relationships tied to coastal energy content, events, and ecosystem initiatives — with clear value exchange.
A growing network of independent agents, brokers, and resellers earning through Tidal engagements. Coming Soon
Marinas, ports, working waterfronts, and vessels across the Lowcountry and Southeast — where strategy meets saltwater.
Tidal Energy Advisory is led by Andrew Dunn, who brings nearly two decades of infrastructure strategy experience — including direct work with ports, maritime logistics operators, shore power systems, battery-electric vessel infrastructure, and grid-scale storage.
Senior-level strategy that puts your cost, resilience, and long-term value first — coordinated with vetted contractors and grounded in how coastal systems actually behave. How compensation works varies by engagement: sometimes a straight advisory fee, sometimes a commission or referral arrangement with a specific vendor. Either way, you'll know it before you act on a recommendation.
The background runs deep and broad: an MPA and graduate work in sustainability and infrastructure, training across solar PV (NABCEP PV Technical Sales), home energy rating (HERS), and dozens of OEM battery, EMS, and energy-modeling platforms — plus professional training in negotiation, business, and diplomacy. The result is an advisor who can sit equally with a homeowner, a port authority, a utility, an investor, or a manufacturer, translate cleanly between them, and keep the whole system — people, economics, and the water itself — moving in the same direction.
