Continental is proud to have taken the lead in bringing Renewable Energy Services to clients throughout the Chicago area. From the installation of solar and wind turbines for the PepsiCo Sustainability Center to construction of the largest corporate solar array of its type in Illinois history for Schneider Electric, we provide a full suite of services, including site assessment, engineering and installation for solar and wind turbine projects. Green is the energy source of the future, and we're pleased to be delivering it to customers today.

We're also pleased to provide the services of our LEED Accredited Professionals. As the U.S. Green Building Council notes, “LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.” We've participated in numerous LEED-certified projects, from the PepsiCo Sustainability Center to the newly constructed Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago. We also served as Design/Assist electrical contractor for S&C Electric’s new ATC Building.
