Sisters of St. Francis
A 475 kW solar carport in Sylvania, Ohio, developed as the first operating phase of a broader campus energy initiative rooted in the Sisters' commitment to stewardship and care for creation.
Return on Mission™
Solar infrastructure designed to serve more than the building.
A solar project is a long-term financial and operating asset. We help nonprofits and community-serving organizations make more of it.
Elevated Energy develops, delivers, and manages solar projects from early-stage strategy through construction and long-term performance reporting — connecting energy savings to the work your organization exists to do.
Who we've worked with
The long-term view
A 25-year asset deserves more than a construction mindset.
Solar projects involve financing, engineering, permitting, utility coordination, construction, operations, maintenance, and years of performance after commissioning. Yet many organizations are left to manage those pieces separately.
The result can be a system that technically works but never delivers its full financial or organizational value.
We believe the project should be managed as one connected asset from the beginning.
Elevated Energy
Development, delivery, and long-term stewardship.
We work with organizations from the earliest project decisions through the operating life of the system.
That includes defining the opportunity, evaluating incentives and funding, building the financial model, managing engineering and construction, monitoring performance, and reporting the results in terms leadership can use.
It is a more complete approach to solar development — and the foundation of our Return on Mission™ model.
What we do
One project. Three connected phases.
Every engagement moves through development, construction, and long-term performance and impact management.
Phase 1
Development
We define the right project before construction begins — evaluating the opportunity, building the financial case, and aligning available funding with your organization's priorities.
Explore this phasePhase 2
Construction
We manage the project from engineering and permitting through installation and commissioning, giving your organization one accountable point of responsibility throughout the build.
Explore this phasePhase 3
Return on Mission™
Once the system is operating, we track its performance and translate the financial and environmental results into clear, useful reporting for your organization.
Explore this phaseOur approach
Built around the full life of the project.
01
We start with the organization, not the equipment.
The best project is not simply the largest system a budget can buy. We evaluate what your organization is trying to accomplish, then structure the project and its funding accordingly.
02
We manage the full lifecycle.
Our involvement does not end at commissioning. Performance, maintenance, financial results, and impact reporting remain part of the engagement over the life of the asset.
03
We make the value visible.
Energy savings matter. So does what those savings make possible. Return on Mission™ connects project performance to outcomes your leadership can understand, manage, and communicate.

Experience
Built on a decade of energy project development.
Elevated Energy grew from the work of Perrysburg Energy, founded by Scott Thompson in 2016 to give clients a single accountable partner across complex energy projects.
Over time, that work expanded from commercial efficiency into solar development, construction, financial strategy, and long-term asset management.
Molly Thompson joined to develop the strategic and impact framework that became Return on Mission™ and Energy into Impact™.
Today, Elevated Energy brings those disciplines together in one model designed specifically for organizations that expect their energy investments to support broader financial, environmental, and community goals.
