ADDING PANELS TO MEET ENERGY NEEDS
Dave contacted Green Ridge Solar to add new solar capacity to his existing solar panel system. He didn’t need a whole new solar system, he just needed more power!
By adding solar panels to his existing setup, we boosted his production, lowered his electricity costs, and helped future-proof his energy needs across his home, barn, and shop.
We also tied his new solar panels and inverter into the existing wiring and electrical setup. We didn’t install his original solar panel system, but we service systems even if we didn’t install it originally.
