The cost of solar panel installation depends on the size of the system, your location, and energy needs. We offer free consultations to assess your requirements and provide a customized quote based on your budget and goals.

• Financing Plans: Solar loans, leases, and Green Energy's Power Purchase Program (PPA) can help you install solar with little to no upfront cost.
• Incentives and Tax Credits: Take advantage of federal tax credits like the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC), along with state and local rebates that reduce costs further.
  • Homeowners, for more details, visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s ITC page.
  • Business Owners, for more details, visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s ITC page.
• Long-term Savings: Solar panels reduce electricity bills, often paying for themselves over time with average savings significantly outweighing the initial investment.

The timeline for installing solar panels can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but here’s a general breakdown:

1. Initial Assessment and Design (1-3 Weeks):

   • In the initial meetings GECC will conduct a site visit to assess your roof, energy needs, and any obstacles. Based on this, they design a custom solar system for your property.  When a design and pricing is agreed upon contracts will be produced for signature.

2. Permitting and Approvals (2-8 Weeks):

   • GECC handles the required permits and approvals from local authorities and your utility company. Timelines vary depending on your location and jurisdiction.

3. Installation (1-5 Days):

   • Once permits are approved, the actual installation of the solar panels and related equipment usually takes just a few days for residential systems. Commercial systems might take longer due to their size and complexity.

Solar energy is a cost-effective and stable investment:

  In contrast, solar electricity can average as low as 7 cents per kWh, offering significant savings over time.

• Fixed Energy Prices: By investing in solar, you can lock in energy costs for 25+ years, shielding yourself from the typical annual grid price increases, which have averaged around 3.5% since 2000.

• Earn Revenue: Through programs like Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) or net metering, homeowners can sell excess energy back to the grid, creating additional income streams.

Yes, installing solar panels adds value to your property:

• Property Value Boost: Studies show that homes with solar panels sell at a 4.1% premium on average.
• Tax Exemptions: Many states offer property tax exemptions for solar equipment.
• Resale Benefits: Lower energy bills make your home more appealing to buyers.
