The GreenSpark Difference – Quality

GreenSpark Solar has been around for over 20 years and we’re not going anywhere. As the most experienced renewable energy company in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region, we’ve earned the title of NYSERDA Quality Installer numerous years, many of our installers are NABCEP certified, and we’re also a member-owner of Amicus Solar Cooperative. Our experience isn’t limited to just solar, we also install EV charging stations and battery storage systems for home and for businesses, large and small. Read on to see why these titles set us apart from the competition..

What does it mean to be a NYSERDA Quality Installer?

NYSERDA, aka the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, designates the title of NYSERDA Quality Installer to solar companies that consistently meet high-quality standards. When you choose GreenSpark, you are choosing a solar company that exceeds annual quality assurance criteria developed by NYSERDA and continues to provide top-tier performance and quality. GreenSpark is the only NYSERDA Quality Installer in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region.

NABCEP Certified Installers

The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners is the most respected and widely recognized certification organization for renewable energy professionals. NABCEP Board certifications are awarded to installers who have accumulated experience, extensive training, and have passed a rigorous exam. Our installers with NABCEP credentials are held to the highest standards of both ethical and professional practice. With GreenSpark as your installer, you can rest assured that your solar installation will be exceptional and done ethically.

Amicus Solar Cooperative

Amicus Solar is a member-owned purchasing cooperative that is made up of 72 values-driven solar companies. The members include PV project developers, EPCs (engineering, procurement, and construction), and installers who build projects in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Over 3500 individuals are employed by Amicus members and together, these companies generate over $1B each year.

When it comes to solar, you get what you pay for, so it’s important to make sure you are choosing a company that invests in prime equipment. As a member-owner of Amicus, GreenSpark has significant operational efficiency benefits. We pool purchasing dollars with other companies in order to secure the best pricing and terms with the highest quality manufacturers and service providers across various categories. This allows us to provide the highest quality solar equipment at a more affordable price to our customers.

Customer Service

Many companies will use cheaper equipment that lasts fewer years. They will often outsource customer service so that when there is an issue, it can be difficult to get in contact with the right person to fix it. GreenSpark’s panels come with a 30-year power production warranty, so they are certainly a long-term investment. All of our customer service is in-house, so if you have any questions about your array, it’s very easy to get in contact with the right person.

So GreenSpark can stay on top of things even after your install, we include monitoring for your array. GreenSpark will constantly monitors your system to ensure that your system is functioning properly. As a customer, you will receive a 95% production guarantee. This means that if your system produces less than 95% of what we estimate it will in the first five years, we will reimburse you in cash for lost energy.

Choose the GreenSpark Difference

An important thing to remember when considering going solar is that not all solar is equal. It’s not always about the price. When you contract with us, you can rest assured that your solar installation, EV charging station, or battery storage will be installed with the highest quality materials, by the highest certified installers, and by an approachable and ethical company who’s been certified by NYSERDA.
