Solar energy is generated by capturing sunlight with photovoltaic (PV) panels and converting it into electricity. These systems can be installed on rooftops, carports, or open land and operate with no emissions, noise, or moving parts.

Yes. Many states offer financial incentives such as grants, rebates, and renewable energy credits (RECs). We handle all program applications and incorporate eligible incentives into your project to lower your costs and increase savings.

We serve public-sector and mission-driven organizations, including:

K–12 schools and higher education institutions
Municipal governments and agencies
Rural electric cooperatives and public utilities
Nonprofits and community organizations

Our turnkey process includes:

Assessment & Feasibility – We evaluate your site and goals
Design & Engineering – Custom system layout and planning
Financing – Tailored structure with no upfront cost
Construction & Interconnection – Complete project delivery
Operations & Maintenance – Ongoing monitoring and support

Most projects are completed in 6 to 12 months depending on size, permitting, utility coordination, and site-specific factors. We keep you updated throughout the entire process.

No. Our Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and municipal lease structures are designed to eliminate upfront costs. We cover all development, construction, and equipment expenses.

A PPA is a long-term contract in which Green Meridian Partners installs and maintains a solar system on your property, and you agree to buy the electricity it generates at a lower rate than your utility—without owning the system or paying upfront.

We offer flexible solutions including:

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) - Most common
Municipal leases
Cash purchase options
Lease-to-own models
Blended capital stack structures (tax equity, grants, bonds)

By locking in a lower electricity rate through a PPA or lease, you reduce your energy bills immediately. These savings grow over time as utility rates increase—freeing up dollars for other priorities.

Savings can vary but most of our clients see savings of 10–25% on their electricity costs starting in year one. Over the life of the agreement, this can total hundreds of thousands of dollars that can be reinvested into education, infrastructure, or community services.

There isn’t one. Our financing models are designed specifically for public institutions—no upfront cost, no hidden fees, and no maintenance burden. You simply buy the solar electricity at a discounted rate.

Our goal is to create a win-win for all parties. The only real requirement is a viable site and a willingness to commit to a long-term energy partnership.

We monitor system performance 24/7 and handle all maintenance, repairs, and equipment replacements at no cost to you. Our team ensures uptime and compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

If the system produces more electricity than your facility uses at any given time, the excess energy is typically sent back to the utility grid—a process known as net metering. Depending on your utility’s policy, you may receive credits or compensation for this surplus, further enhancing your savings.

That said, we typically size the solar array to offset around 80% of your facility’s annual electricity use. This approach helps maximize savings while minimizing excess generation and regulatory hurdles. Our goal is to ensure your system is right-sized for your usage patterns and utility rate structure.

We understand facilities evolve. If you plan renovations or additions that affect the solar system, we’ll work with you to coordinate safe relocation or temporary adjustments. These scenarios are addressed in our agreements to ensure flexibility.

You’ll have flexible options, including:

Extending the agreement
Purchasing the system at fair market value
Having the system removed at no cost

We’ll help you determine the best course based on your goals.
