Service with Significant Environmental Footprint

At Green Lightning Energy, our mission is to make clean energy affordable for everyday homeowners and business owners. Green Lightning Energy was founded by Jason Plant and Kadin Burns when both of their mothers received excessively expensive estimates from large name-brand solar providers. Our parents wanted the financial advantages and the positive environmental impact that solar energy held, but artificially high prices prevented them from accessing that value. We believed that we could get them a better deal by offering the same high quality solutions, at reasonable prices. We were right, and now, we offer that same value to every homeowner we serve. Ever since our founding, Green Lightning Energy has been on a mission to make clean energy affordable for the everyday homeowners. We offer free estimates, speedy and responsive service, and the most cutting-edge solar technologies in the industry. Despite using the same high quality systems as the largest solar brands, our residential prices typically come $5,000 to $20,000 lower.
