Environmental Benefits & Our History
- Solar offsets the pollution and Greenhouse gas emissions caused by burning fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
- Solar is efficient, available, and sustainable. As long as the sun still rises, you will have energy and your system will earn you money.
- Solar causes no pollution to surrounding water supplies, and because solar energy systems have no moving parts - they are silent. No noise pollution either!
- Solar can be placed on large commercial buildings and rooftops as well to generate tremendous amounts of clean energy.
New Jersey's top solar installer, Green Apple Energy, was born when two good friends decided to merge their own already successful NJ based businesses, one in the roofing industry and the other in the general contracting field. Both had an interest in expanding the new business into the "Green Zone" of renewable, pollution-free energy systems. Through extensive and continuous training, networking, recruiting, and careful expansion, Green Apple Energy has developed a team of experts beyond compare.
When you choose Green Apple Energy, our team of architects, designers, electrical engineers, sales staff, project managers, and green energy specialists will guide you step by step through the entire process. From the first consultation to the final test run and routine maintenance of your completed system, Green Apple Energy will be there. All necessary permits, forms, and rebate applications will also be handled by Green Apple Energy.
We do all the work. You flip the switch!
Solar Financial Incentives
- Owners of residential solar systems receive New Jersey state rebates as well as a 30% Federal Renewable Energy Income Tax Credit (ITC) under the Economic Stabilization Act.
- Studies show that by adding a PV solar system, your home increases in value by 20 times the value of the electricity costs saved in the first year the system is running.
- Net Metering Law allows that when the system is generating more energy that the homeowner is using, the excess is flowing back to the utility grid, and the utility company credits the homeowner. The homeowner can use these credits later to purchase energy back when needed. Learn More About Financial Incentives
