Services
Solar Panel Installation
We design and install custom solar photovoltaic systems for commercial, industrial, and residential properties. Our installations reduce electricity costs by up to 90% through net metering and SREC revenue generation. Systems include 20-year panel warranties and 5-10 year inverter coverage with comprehensive maintenance support.
Power Purchase Agreements
Our PPA model allows clients to use solar energy without upfront costs. We own, operate, and maintain the system while customers pay a discounted electricity rate below market prices. Contracts include predictable rate escalators up to 15 years.
Commercial Solar Solutions
Tailored solar installations for commercial properties enhance asset value and tenant appeal. Systems integrate with existing electrical infrastructure while qualifying for 30% federal tax credits and accelerated depreciation benefits under NJ regulations.
Residential Solar Systems
Custom residential solar solutions increase property value without tax penalties. Homeowners benefit from net metering credits, SREC income, and 30% federal tax credits while reducing utility bills through grid-connected PV systems.
SREC Management
We help clients monetize Solar Renewable Energy Certificates generated by their systems. Each 1,000 kWh produced earns an SREC tradable at premium rates, creating revenue streams from $20,000 annually for small systems to six-figure returns for large installations.
Questions
How do solar panels reduce electricity costs?
Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, reducing grid dependency. Net metering credits excess production while SRECs create additional revenue streams.
What financing options are available?
We offer PPAs with no upfront costs, leases, and traditional purchases with 30% federal tax credits and sales tax exemptions.
Do solar installations increase property taxes?
No. NJ law exempts solar systems from property tax assessments while increasing property value through energy savings.
How long do solar systems last?
Panels carry 20-year warranties and typically operate efficiently for 25-30 years. Inverters require replacement every 10-15 years with proper maintenance.
What maintenance is required?
Our systems require minimal maintenance. We offer service programs to ensure optimal performance through panel cleaning and component inspections.
How are SRECs monetized?
Each 1,000 kWh generated earns one SREC. These certificates trade at premium rates through NJ's regulated market for 15-year guaranteed returns.
