“As farmers, we spend a lot of money on electricity for our storage, and we know electricity costs are going to go up. Having solar reduce or eliminate our electricity costs is both economically and environmentally strategic for us.”
As a family-owned and operated business, Messner Flooring chose to go solar to strengthen our business for current and future generations of owners, customers, and the community. It was important for us to partner with another local, trusted, community-focused business - GreenSpark was professional, experienced, and made the process simple.
GreenSpark Solar is a small enough company to think through all the details. They are very hands-on and they gave us one main point of contact. They are also big enough to work on the overall project needs, and they gave us customized solutions.
I worked with the GreenSpark team on several projects to improve HARBEC’s efficiency and bottom line with renewable energy. GreenSpark is an industry leader in our region - their experience and professionalism stands out. They continue to be wonderful partners, and I recommend GreenSpark for any business (or residence) thinking about exploring solar energy.
Because of the solar system we've been able to hold our prices pretty steady... and that's something the customers may not initially realize but it's something important to us.
How do I feel about having the array in my backyard? I think it's fantastic. I love having my own power station, per se. We don't have to answer to anybody and it's just a good feeling. We're pretty independent people and this just furthers our demand for that.
