Smooth and easy processPosted on Harry haberman2024-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of research and contemplation we decided to go solar and use Green Power Energy. There are tons of companies out there and I am sure there are some good ones but I am glad we went with Green Power. From the Quote to the post installation meeting the GPE team treated me with respect made me feel like a team member instead of just another client.Posted on Michael T2024-01-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Power Energy (GPE) completed our Photovoltaic/Battery installation in August 2022. It is a very nice looking and clean installation. Where we live we lose power quite often. Since Aug. 2022 our battery/solar backup has kicked in automatically for over 20 hours of blackouts or brownouts. No more waiting and wondering when the power company is going to get our power back up and running. Austin Dow and Kevin Nally have been great to work with regarding answering any and all questions regarding the design and installation. Update - We lost power for 46 hours on 1/9/24 to 1/11/24 due to a winter storm. The battery/solar backup powered our house the entire time and worked perfectly.Posted on Daniel Landgren2024-01-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enjoyed working with GPE from start of scoping the system thru implementation. Good local company to work with.Posted on Mickey Smeriglio2024-01-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend Bart and the Green Power Energy Team to my friends and family. Thank you again for your professionalism, reliability, and dedication. Your experience helped my family navigate the Solar landscape and we are forever grateful. Bart’s ability to run forecasted energy figures, financing options, and solar layout styles helped make our dream a reality. The Green Power Energy installation team was tidy, communicative, and effective. They were the first contractors to listen to my requests and helped explain technical terms simply. I will return to Bart / GPE for renewable resources in the future.Posted on Tom Pace2023-12-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Green Power Energy (GPE) If you're looking for solar, I would highly recommend Green Power Energy (GPE)! From the initial consultation to the finished project, GPE did an amazing job! Their team communicated with me every step of the way, processed all the confusing paperwork required for solar projects, and they delivered a high quality system that has exceeded my expectations! I researched many solar companies, and GPE was the only one that made me feel like I wasn't being scammed. Many companies had different prices which changed depending on if you were buying outright or financing, and they changed even more depending on your interest rate. With GPE, the price, is the price, is the price. Save yourself the frustration and go with Green Power Energy!Posted on Scott Babitz2023-12-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good install experience at every step in the process. From my initial discussions with: Tim on designing a system, the Engineering Team, Install Team, and post-install assistance (meter set-up, getting SREC program set-up ,etc.....), everything proceed on time and as expected. There are lots of solar companies one can pick from, Green Power Energy's level of experience in this business and professionalism really stand out compared to other Solar Providers that I spoke with. My one open question is that since my system was activate right near the end of "prime solar season", I will need to wait another 8 months to see if the actual system generation matches the estimates that Green Power Energy provided during the system design. I plan to update the review in the Fall-2024 with that information.Posted on Geoff Perumal2023-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin is wonderful, knowledgeable, and patientPosted on Heer Patel2023-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with green power energy. All staff are knowledgeable and professional people. Start to finish project with in couple weeks. Definitely recommended over other solar installations company.Posted on Christopher Brown2023-11-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a new solar panel system installed by Green Power Energy. This is my second solar panel system (it replaced my original aged system). Green Power was great to work with and they helped me through every step of the process since there was extra confusion around replacing an existing system. They did a great job with the up-front engineering and the installation and I am very happy with the overall experience.

Bundle Solar Storage and Save Big
Durham residents can amplify their savings by pairing solar storage products, battery arrays like the Tesla Powerwall, with their solar panel installation. Incentives for adding solar storage units help reduce the upfront costs of installation, making it more affordable to store excess energy produced during the day.

Benefits of Replacing Your Roof When Going Solar
Replacing your roof before installing solar panels provides a stronger foundation for your system, so you can avoid the hassle of removing and reinstalling panels down the road. A roof replacement can also improve energy efficiency and protect your investment for decades.

Potentially Increase Your Home’s Value
Homes equipped with solar panels are often more attractive to buyers, as they offer the potential for lower energy costs and reduced environmental impact. As a result, homes with solar panel systems in Connecticut tend to sell faster and at higher prices than those without.
What Homeowners Want To Know
