Solar investment pays more than the average 401k
Locking in your energy rate
By investing in solar today you are investing in your future and your children’s future.
How Solar Works
Photovoltaic solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaic solar panels are made of silicon crystals, the major component of sand.
Electricity is then passed into an inverter:
Converts DC current into AC current
AC current is the form of electricity appliances require
AC Current is passed onto your home electrical box.
Take whatever electricity you require
Excess electricity goes onto the electric grid
Any electricity going onto the grid spins the meter backwards, qualifying the property owner for an electricity credit
Enphase Monitoring
The Solar System is monitored to ensure optimum performance
If the solar system is not performing at 100%, steps can be taken to fix the problem

Rebates
Solar installations qualify for various rebates and incentives depending on where the installation occurs.
US Tax Rebate: 30% federal tax credit
Pennsylvania Solar Initiative: $1.25/watt
Residential - 10 kW cap
Commercial - 200,000 kW cap
PA Alternative Energy Credits (AEC) - sold for cash
Paying for Solar
There are several ways to own a photovoltaic solar system. The simplest is to pay in cash. Unfortunately, this is not an option for most property owners. To pay for a solar system, we offer:
Financing
Leasing
100% Financing is available.
To best determine the total cost of a solar system, you should take advantage of Green Energiesfree on-site consultation. To sign up for a free consultation, fill out the form below:
Return on Investment (ROI)
A typical solar installation, after considering local, state, and federal rebates, will pay for itself in 8-12 years. If you are an investor, this is an equivalent of 12.5 - 8.3% return.
In addition, PA Alternative Energy Credits (you receive from generating solar energy) can add up to several thousand dollars each year, slashing pay off time and increasing ROI. A positive cash flow is established from year one!
But you cannot compare solar to a typical investment because it is tax-free. In addition, a solar system has no risk since the only factor it relies upon is the sun.
Installation
After signing an agreement, we will give you a timeline for the installation of your solar system. After the solar panels and parts arrive, our professional crew will begin installing your photovoltaic solar system. Our crews arrive each day and work in a courteous manner. They will leave the site clean each evening.
A typical installation will take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity.
With each GreenEnergies solar installation comes 5 years of free monitoring. Using advanced information technology, Green Solar can monitor your solar system to ensure each panel is producing as much electricity as possible.
When a problem occurs with electricity production, GreenEnergies will troubleshoot the panel to determine the problem.
Our unique system, provided by Enlighten, allows us to track system production
and each panel individual. The software automatically notifies us when there is a problem.
