This 6.84 kw system uses 38 Evergreen Spruce-180's with 2 x 408 heliodyne panels and will produce roughly 8114 kwh's of electricity annually helping to offset 171 tons of Carbon Pollution which is equivalent to planting 20.5 acres of trees.
  • This 6.84 kw system uses 38 Evergreen Spruce-180's with 2 x 408 heliodyne panels and will produce roughly 8114 kwh's of electricity annually helping to offset 171 tons of Carbon Pollution which is equivalent to planting 20.5 acres of trees.
  • This large residential solar installation powers a small farm in Woodstock, Vermont. This grid-tied solar energy system allows the owner to take advantage of net metering. Consisting of 240 panels and producing approximately 2800 kilowatts hours per month, this solar energy system is a sizable residential installation. The presence of ledge at this site created some challenges GroSolar overcame by designing the concrete peers pictured here at the base of each ground-mount solar array.
  • The challenge in this Vermont residential solar installation was mounting the solar panels and hot water system to be both pleasing and effective. The solar panel system produces 2 kilowatts, and the solar hot water system meets the home's domestic hot water needs.
  • The solar arrays on this Vermont residence make the best use of the home's multiple roofs: GroSolar utilized as much roof space as possible to generate as much power as possible. The solar panels on the far side of the gable catch the morning sun, the panels on the roof above catch the mid-day sun, the panels on this side of the gable catch the late afternoon sun. This grid-tied system generates approximately 5.6 kilowatts, or 500-600 kilowatt hours per month.
  • The solar array used on this residence maximizes the use of the south-facing roof to receive the most efficient use of the sun's energy, generating clean, emission-free electricity, and reduces the need for traditional utility power. By using a 8.5 kilowatt solar power system the owner is able to defray the utility electricity demand of their swimming pool as well as other standard loads in their home.
  • This yoga center in Vermont meets 75-80% of its electrical needs with a grid-tied solar panel system and uses a solar hot water panel for domestic hot water. The solar hot water panel is situated here to the left of the solar electric PV (photovoltaic) panels.
  • Conservation is an integral part of any alternative energy application, as evidenced by this small solar installation on a small barn in Vermont. GroSolar's energy advisors counseled this home owner to minimize his power usage so he could utilize a smaller, less expensive solar energy system. This installation also illustrates the use of a secondary building to house the solar panels for a primary residence.
  • This off-grid solar installation in New England consists of a single, top-of-pole solar array. Such arrays offer a couple advantages over roof-top installations: their angle can be changed seasonally, thus maximizing solar gain, and they are very useful when a house is not optimally situated to support solar panels.
  • GroSolar helped the owners of this Energy Star rated home maximize incentive programs and feasible roof space with this grid-tied 8 kilowatt solar energy system. This New York home also offsets its domestic hot water heating needs with a solar hot water panel visible here on the far roof.

  • Conservation is the key to the success of this solar panel installation. The owners of this South Strafford, Vermont installation have designed their home and this small office building so that this 1.5 kilowatt solar PV system offsets 100% of the energy needs of this small office and the primary residence (not pictured here) next to it.
  • This off-grid solar installation is the perfect energy answer for this second home. The house is too far from a utility to make use of it. All of the electricity required for this part-time residence is generated by solar energy.
  • This Upstate New York solar installation is a new construction owned by a conservation professional. He uses the solar panels to offset his dependence on utilities and he uses the array to promote his business.
  • This grid-tied 7.5 kilowatt solar energy system generates the bulk of the power required by this Vermont residence. Situated some distance from the home, these pole-mount solar arrays take the best advantage of the solar potential of this property. Note the happy solar energy user in the foreground.
  • Solar hot water panels meet the domestic hot water needs of this cooperative, sustainable community in Vermont. Some of the homes in this community also use the hot water for space heating.
  • This small commercial solar power application meets the energy needs of this spa in the Adirondacks. As net metering is not available in New York, this owner has a power purchase agreement with the state. For more information about net metering and alternative energy incentives in your state, please refer to our resources page or contact our Project Coordinator.
  • This residential grid-tied solar energy system is owned by a New York couple whose greatest concern is carbon neutrality. They offset their emissions with conservation and solar energy. For more information about how you can reduce your carbon foot print, please contact our sales team or refer to 'Our World' in the resources section of our web site.
  • This small solar energy installation in Massachusetts illustrates how easy it is to start small. Even a small array can make a difference and can be added to over time.
  • A beautiful Upper Valley home made more beautiful by 500 kilowatt hours offset by solar each month. This residential solar energy system meets a significant part of this home's energy requirements.

  • This solar energy installation is customized to accommodate the customer's roof. Because the south-facing orientation of this out building roof is more advantageous to solar gain than the roof of the primary building, it is the perfect location for these solar panels.
  • Each solar energy installation is engineered specifically to accommodate weather and site conditions. This Vermont site is particularly windy, therefore the racking system for these ground-mount arrays is designed to withstand higher winds.
  • This residential solar installation in New England demonstrates how beautiful solar panels can be. The owners of this home were concerned with aesthetics. GroSolar easily accommodated the customer's desire for symmetry by creating two balanced solar arrays. This grid-tied solar application generates approximately 2 kilowatts, or about 25% of this home's electricity.
