The Case Overview
Brian C. from Califon, NJ, decided to take control of his high electric costs by installing a 10.26 kW solar system with Green Power Energy. Installed in November 2015, the new solar panel system produces 14,000 kWh annually, offsetting 20,160 lbs. of CO2 annually. With an average electric bill that previously ranged from $250-$300, Brian now sees bills as low as $0, with a maximum of $50/month during higher usage periods.
The financial benefits of installing solar panels were immediate, with a 30% tax credit reducing the system’s cost from $30,000 to $21,000 and a 6-8 year return on investment. Brian found the partnership with Green Power Energy invaluable, praising the responsiveness of his salesperson and the peace of mind that came from working with a local solar company. Today, his solar power system runs smoothly, providing him nearly free electricity while contributing positively to the local environment.

Motivation for installing solar panels:
“My high electric costs were ongoing and it was also something I was curious about. After sitting down and running the numbers it became apparent. ‘Why doesn’t everybody do this?’ I asked Tim (salesperson). I don’t mind spending X amount of money if I am going to get 3x that amount back. After a few years, it will be paid off and then there is free electricity for another 20 years or so. The added benefit is to help save the planet. When I go on the app and it says you save 900 trees, that’s pretty cool too.”
Considerations in choosing Green Power Energy as installer:
“Tim, my salesperson, was always available, it didn’t matter when it was. If I texted him on a Sunday night, he would get me with an answer within 10 minutes. Any questions whatsoever were answered so quickly. I’ve been in sales all my life, and pride myself on that, his turn around was great. The presentation was also better and more conscience, plus I was more comfortable. Not only because Green Power Energy were local, but because the other people I met with were with large companies and they didn’t seem like they understand what I wanted. It felt like if something went wrong I would be stuck, and I decided that wasn’t for me. Something like this is really a partnership. Some people say get the cheapest and that all solar is the same, but you really need to look into the company you are hiring because if something goes wrong, you need your company to be there for you.”
