As municipalities review their budgets for cost savings during these economic times, investments in operational efficiencies are often overlooked in favor of various program cuts. Traditional methods of reducing operating expenses (like turning off the lights and lowering air conditioning use) do not make significant dents in these costs. Investing in solar provides immediate relief for over-strained budgets and long term stability for future planning.
City governments and entities are clearly in positions of leadership to implement the use of alternative energy to solve fiscal and environmental issues, and SunGreen is here to make this transition smooth and cost-effective for its municipal partners.
Methodology
1) Free Evaluation & Analysis
The first step in determining whether solar power is right for you is a comprehensive analysis of your particular situation. We will conduct a free evaluation of your utility bills and energy usage as well as a free on-site evaluation to analyze climate, sun exposure, and other physical characteristics unique to your home.
2) System Design & Engineering
Once you have made the decision to go solar, our team of licensed professionals will design a solar system customized to your desires. If you want this investment to send a signal to the public, we can create design-enhanced solutions that will be an impressive visual symbol on your property. This requires review of your building’s architectural plans and a second site visit to take precise measurements and determine the optimal location and orientation for the system. Furthermore, these types of projects typically require lengthy city reviews, approvals, and permitting. SunGreen’s team of professionals are experts at navigating these channels and can ensure these steps proceed smoothly and efficiently.
3) Finance
Should you elect to finance your solar electric system, SunGreen will help you to determine a financing option that maximizes your financial returns. In addition, we will administer all paperwork to ensure that you receive the maximum rebate and tax credits possible, relieving you of any headaches associated with the process. And in most cases, we will credit you the rebate up-front so you only pay the system cost net of the rebate!
4) Installation
Our installation crews and the project managers that oversee them are comprised of experienced residential contractors, electrical contractors, and solar experts. This team will install your system to our meticulous standards, and ensure your installation and interconnection are completed efficiently, on-time, and with minimal disturbance to you and your neighbors.
5) Public Relations
Once we have connected your new system to the grid, you will have an impressive investment to be pride about. Your community should be proud too, and here at SunGreen, we will help you generate publicity to promote your commitment to a sustainable environment.
6) Post-Installation Service
Even after installation and connection, SunGreen will continue to be your solar partner. We will teach you how to properly maintain your system and provide any technical advice or assistance that you may need. We want you to be happy with your investment, and go the extra mile to make that happen.
Rebates
Generous state and federal incentive programs can reduce your installation cost by up to 45%. For more information on these programs, please check our rebates & incentives page.
Financing
A variety of financing options make solar more affordable. In many cases, your reduction in annual energy expenses will be greater than your financing costs, thus creating immediate positive cash flow. Our team at SunGreen will work with you to determine the financing method that best fits your needs. For more information on financing your system, please call us.
