Homeowners and the Right of Ownership

Homeowners in general understand and treat with value the right of ownership. They take pride in the responsibility that comes with owning their own property and treasure its practical advantages. They possess a sense of security and peace of mind knowing they always have a place to call home, to build a family, and to establish a life. Most of us begin as renters and are all too familiar with the limitations and fleetingness inherent living month to month. To actually possess the title of your home is something billions strive for, but less than half ever accomplish. It requires a specific mindset to own and maintain a home. You need to think in terms of decades instead of months and to prioritize long-term sustainability over...

May 7, 2018 (LOS ANGELES) A California solar company driving the growth of rooftop solar across the USA is now about to find itself expanding operations right in its own backyard. Green Solar Technologies, like others in the solar industry, is anticipating a very positive development on May 9th as the California Energy Commission decides to implement the decision to require all new homes built in California include solar panels starting in 2020. If approved as expected, the new solar mandate will: Apply to all houses, condos, and apartment buildings up to three stories tall Home Builders would get “compliance credits” for installing battery systems Allow exemptions when homes or buildings are shaded by buildings or trees Green Solar Technologies’s Chief Operating Officer Ed Harner believes the Commission will affirm the new solar requirements and has geared up the company’s suppliers,...

Full Audio of the Interview can be accessed here. The climate for solar energy is rapidly expanding all across America. More homeowners are becoming aware of the benefits of solar technology and are ditching their perennial utility providers for the more long-term rewards found in solar energy. Heading the onslaught of new solar panel installations in America is Green Solar Technologies, a national installer based out of North Hollywood, CA. Recently its COO Edward Harner appeared on "The Keven Cohen Show" on WQXL FM "The Point" located in Columbia, South Carolina.

Green Solar Technologies , a national solar company headquartered in Los Angeles with thousands of successful solar installations across the United States, is now enabling residents of Iowa and Kansas to go solar. The growth of Green Solar Technologies’s operations in the Midwest started in Missouri and adds to the expanding national importance of residential solar energy systems which help homeowners save by decreased electricity expenses, increased federal tax savings, and environmental benefits.

Through the first half of 2017, 22% of all new electric generating capacity brought online in the U...

by Geddy Friedman Last summer, the solar industry was up in arms over the direction solar was taking. Companies outside the United States were charged by American manufacturers and installers with dumping solar panels into the country at or below cost. This drastically affected the landscape of solar growth in America as well as how the national economy was able to prosper with the transition. American-based companies like Suniva and SolarWorld contended that they were struggling to compete with the prices of solar panels by companies from countries like China and India who cut costs of workers and of product quality to position themselves in front of everyone else.

This conflict ultimately led to an International Trade Commission hearing in Washington D.C. last August with its aim to reach measures which would level the playing field for solar in the United States. Green...

The most commonly asked question from customers

The most common question we get asked about going solar is “How much does it cost?” Of course! It all comes down to affordability. The answer to this question however can be misleading if you are not considering the full picture in context. If you are going to look at the total price of a solar power generation system, it is critical to also look at the cumulative cost of staying with your utility company and compare the two. Solar energy is an investment, and one that pays off exponentially more over time.
