Our Work
All GL installs are suited to the individual customer needs, therefore
some systems can be as simple as a 135W panel recharging a single
battery in an RV, or a full 24 panel 6500W system for a single home with
a 3600lbs. battery bank.
Here are just a few pictures of different GL PV installs:

Free Standing PV Array
Just an example how PV can be integrated in your landscaping. This additional 6 panel PV array got mounted on a custom made frame, and bolted onto existing rocks. Click to see more >>

OFF-Grid Flush PV Mount
Careful planning around the existing roof line and chimney allowed for only one row of panels before shading became an issue. Using longer 72 cell panels in one row made the array for this beautiful cottage just perfect. Click to see more >>

Tilted OFF-Grid PV install
Another cottage system that got upgraded with a larger PV array, to get the batteries a better charging and lifetime. Mounted on a tilted rack to produce more power in Fall, Winter and Spring.

OFF-Grid Roof PV
This system has a 2100W array that charges a Flooded Lead Acid battery bank through a 80Amp Maximum Power Point charge controller. The PV panels got mounted at a 45 degree angle on this 3/12 roof, to gain more power in the Spring, Fall and Winter. Click to see more >>

Off-Grid PV Ground Mount
This PV system is 6.4kW and powers a 4.4kW pure sine wave inverter with a 52kWh battery bank. Click to see more >>

OFF-Grid Tilt PV Mount
A simple and clean solution to power a remote cottage to run a fridge, lights and pump water. Click for more >>

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Green Energy?
Green energy is the term used to describe sources of energy that are
considered to be environmentally friendly and non-polluting, such as
geothermal, wind, solar, and hydro. Solar energy can be generated in
two forms, namely electricity and heat.
What is a PV cell?
Solar cells or PV-cells are used to convert solar radiation into electricity. Photovoltaic systems release no greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and they don't even need direct sunlight to produce energy; they just need daylight and this means they can operate even during cloudy and less bright days or in foggy weather.
Did you know? The PV panel output is better in colder climates.

Why should I use Green Energy?
People may decide to buy green energy systems for a variety of
reasons. Many want to help preserve the earth's finite fossil-fuel
resources and reduce pollution. Choosing green energy systems is a
powerful and direct way for you to help protect the environment, and
make a long-lasting commitment to the planet's future.
Some people like the security of renewable energy, because it makes them less vulnerable to future increases in electricity and fossil fuel prices. Others are interested because renewable energy systems can provide emergency power in case of storms or other power system failures. Finally, some people just don't like paying utility bills and appreciate the independence that renewable energy provides.

What does it mean to "Go Green"?
Going green means living within a balance that must exist between you and your environment, a balance that humanity has too often let fall to the wayside in recent times. It means to minimize your impact on this earth, and offset or even eliminate your use of nonrenewable resources.
