The Seneca Nation of Indians have always respected and relied on their land. They continue to hunt and fish in the wilderness, run and play on Lacrosse fields, and grow vegetables they call Deohako, "the life supporters.” More recently they have been powering their lives with clean renewable energy.

GreenSpark installed a 7.42kW roof mounted solar array for Elliot and Anna Vos at their home in the Highland Park Neighborhood of Rochester in 2015. The array covers just about 100% of their annual electric usage saving them nearly $1500 per year. Over the life of the system the Vos' will see over $34,000 in savings. The payback period was originally just about eight years, but through GreenSpark's referral Program, the Vos' have referred so many new customers that they will see the return on their investment much faster.Vos Details Breakdown:7.42kW roof mountReduction in Electricity Usage - nearly 100%Anticipated Annual…
