Why GreenSpark Solar is the Best Choice in Western New York (the 2022 Statistics Speak for Themselves)
Oh, what a year it has been! We’ve added new team members, a ton of solar, created a heck of a lot of community and environmental impact, and so much more. GreenSpark is proud to be a part of this local business community and we’re grateful every day. We’re excited to share some of our highlights from 2022 with you.
2022 was a year of massive growth for GreenSpark, and 2023 is already scheduled to be our biggest solar year yet. We’re continuing on our journey of creating a more sustainable future for our region and beyond.
Some numbers from 2022
- We welcomed over 200 homeowners to our solar family and installed or scheduled more than 2 MW of residential solar.
- That means we’ve now brought over 10 MW of solar to more than 1,000 households in the region in GreenSpark’s lifetime.
- We installed or scheduled over 90 MW of commercial solar for businesses and organizations in 2022.
- That brings the total commercial solar impact to over 200 MW in GreenSpark’s lifetime.
- Between residential and commercial solar, we installed about 40,000 solar panels in 2022.
We’ve installed the equivalent of:
- Removing 60,181 tons of CO2
- Enough energy to charge 6,641,087,026 cell phones
- Offsetting carbon emissions of 135,516,151 miles driven
- The carbon impact of growing 151,702 trees for ten years
