Services
Commercial Solar Installation
Our commercial solar installations reduce energy costs for businesses while generating revenue through SRECs. Systems are custom-designed to maximize roof space or ground-mounted arrays, with options for canopy structures over parking lots. We handle permitting, grid connection, and incentive applications to ensure seamless integration with existing operations.
Residential Solar Systems
We install high-efficiency solar panels that increase home values without property tax increases. Our systems include 20-year panel warranties and 10-year inverter coverage, with financing options like PPAs that require no upfront costs. Homeowners benefit from federal tax credits and reduced electricity bills.
Power Purchase Agreements
Our PPAs provide below-market electricity rates with no installation costs. We own, operate, and maintain the system while clients pay only for the energy used. Contracts include low annual escalation clauses to protect against utility rate hikes over 10-15 year terms.
SREC Management
We help clients monetize Solar Renewable Energy Certificates generated by their systems. Our expertise ensures compliance with New Jersey's 15-year legislative guarantees for SREC sales, which can generate $20,000+ annually depending on system size.
Brownfield Solar Development
We transform contaminated industrial sites into productive solar farms. This service combines environmental remediation with energy generation, creating dual revenue streams through electricity production and state incentives for land reclamation projects.
Questions
How do solar panels work with grid connectivity?
Solar panels generate DC electricity converted to AC by inverters. Excess energy spins your meter backward through net metering, while the grid supplies power at night.
What financial incentives are available for New Jersey homeowners?
Homeowners receive a 30% federal tax credit, 0% sales tax on equipment, and property tax exemptions. SREC sales can generate $20,000+ annually.
Can businesses install solar with no upfront costs?
Yes, our Power Purchase Agreements require no capital investment. We install and maintain systems while clients pay reduced electricity rates.
How long does installation take?
Commercial installations typically complete within days after permitting. Residential projects usually finish in 1-2 days once panels are delivered.
What maintenance do solar systems require?
Our systems have 20-year panel warranties and 5-10 year inverter warranties. Maintenance programs ensure optimal performance with minimal homeowner involvement.
How do SRECs generate income?
Each 1,000 kWh produced earns one SREC, which we help clients sell to utility companies at legislatively guaranteed prices for 15 years.
