The sun shines every day, so why not use it as a source of renewable energy? By installing a solar panel system on your home, you can save money on your electricity bill, get credit for the extra electricity you produce, and significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

What’s more, Green Mountain Energy can help you every step of the way! Rooftop solar panels can be key to gaining Solar Independence — and when you’re Powered by Sunshine, you’re being a good friend to the planet.

Installing a residential solar panel system on your home makes more sense than ever. Improvements in technology and efficiency, plus the generous rebates available for homeowners, have spurred a drop in the cost of going solar by more than 90% since 2009.¹

Making your own electricity means you won’t have to rely on the grid for all of your electricity needs, helping you save on energy costs for years to come. And when you install a rooftop solar panel system using our installation partners, you can gain access to our 1:1 unlimited, uncapped solar energy buyback plan to earn bill credits for 100% of the excess energy you produce.

Best of all, you’ll significantly lower your home’s carbon footprint and help ensure a cleaner, greener future for the planet.

 At Green Mountain Energy, we’ve been on a mission toward a cleaner, greener future since 1997. As the nation’s longest-serving renewable energy retailer, we’re bringing clean, solar energy to homes like yours every day and continuing our steps toward a sustainable future.

 We can help make your solar journey affordable and sustainable — just the way it should be.

Once your rooftop solar system is all set up by our installation partners and you’re ready to go, you can sign up for our exclusive, uncapped Renewable Rewards Buyback Plan that gives you bill credits for 100% of the excess energy you produce. On days when your panels make more electricity than you need, you can pass that electricity on to your local electric grid.

In exchange, you’ll get a bill credit that you can put toward times when you use electricity from the grid. During times when you do need electricity from the grid, we back your usage with 100% renewable energy — so you can have peace of mind even on the cloudiest days.

Don’t take our word for it — listen to what our customers have to say!

Your solar panel system is just one step on the road to producing your own clean energy. Find out more about what it means to be Powered by Sunshine.
