Resolve the questions between your product and its market.
Which markets and project applications should your product serve—and what performance, configurations, and approvals will it need to compete there? PAC helps you connect those commercial goals to product requirements, analysis, testing, and documentation. Addressing the right questions at the right time helps reduce development iterations, duplicated testing, and late changes, while building the technical foundation for a competitive product.

Capabilities
Technical foundations for commercialization and market access.
Product optimization & structural performance
Improve product economics while meeting performance and application requirements. Evaluate load paths, component sections, connections, and test results to identify opportunities to use less material, simplify assemblies, and improve manufacturing and installation efficiency. Help manufacturers reduce product cost and improve margin, with capacities and supported configurations backed by appropriate analysis, testing, and structural compliance documentation.
Testing, certification & product approvals
Plan and coordinate the technical work supporting UL listings, Florida Product Approval, and ICC-ES evaluation reports, as appropriate to the product and target market. Develop test programs, coordinate laboratories and specimens, organize submissions, and work through technical responses. Assess the implications of product changes so manufacturers can pursue market access with the evidence they need and avoid unnecessary testing or repeated submissions.
AHJ requirements & project acceptance
Help customers and project teams obtain the technical answers they need to specify and use your product. Prepare and coordinate responses to authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), project engineers, and installers, supported by consistent installation instructions, attachment details, and analysis or test documentation. Resolve technical objections and documentation gaps that can delay project acceptance, permitting, installation—and the sale.
Sales tools & technical application support
Give your sales team practical technical resources to identify suitable projects, explain product advantages, and support customer decisions. Translate product capacities and supported configurations into requirements for selection tools, configurators, and sales literature. Help salespeople answer application questions and substantiate product claims, so technical uncertainty is less likely to hold up a qualified opportunity.
Approach
Your market goals. A practical technical path to get there.
Manufacturers need technical decisions that hold up in testing, make sense in production, and support the way products are sold and installed. PAC works directly with you and your product, operations, and sales teams to turn market goals and customer needs into practical development priorities. That means weighing cost, performance, approval requirements, and launch timing together—and staying involved in the analysis, testing, and documentation needed to move forward.
Understand the whole problem.
Establish objectives, constraints, open questions, and the decisions that matter.
Initiate and coordinate.
Define the work, align the right resources, and maintain momentum across development, testing, and documentation.
Follow through.
Resolve open issues, communicate decisions, and carry agreed work to a clear conclusion.
You get a technical partner who takes initiative, explains the trade-offs, and follows open issues through. The aim is a well-developed product, a more efficient path to market, and technical support your team and customers can rely on.
About
Direct technical support. A lasting working relationship.
PAC Consultants, LLC is an independent, principal-led practice serving solar PV mounting manufacturers. You work directly with the person doing the technical work and taking responsibility for its progress. Experience across development, testing, approvals, and application support helps PAC anticipate the consequences of a design change, identify gaps in a test program, and keep load tables, installation instructions, and configurators consistent with the product’s supported configurations.
The practice is built around a limited number of close client relationships. That allows time to learn your products, understand your commercial priorities, and provide attentive support as needs evolve. The standard is careful work, sound judgment, and dependable follow-through—whether you need help resolving a specific technical challenge or continuing support across a product portfolio.
