WELCOME TO GREEN STATES ENERGY!
Everyone agrees that planet Earth and its people will be better off if we can reduce the use of fossil fuels to meet our energy needs. Green States Energy, Inc. is an independent power producer (“IPP”) focused on developing, acquiring, owning, and operating renewable energy generation facilities to provide clean, reliable electric generation to local governments and utilities, as well as commercial and industrial clients. We currently have six solar PV facilities in operation with total output of more than 5MW, plus a project pipeline of over 200MW. We enjoy working with municipalities and utilities to develop projects that are a true win-win. Our strategy is to combine best-of-breed technologies and processes into solutions that can be effectively and responsibly deployed in individual locales. GSE also provides asset management services, which include operations and maintenance as well as administration, monitoring, marketing, and billing services. Headquartered in Florida, we have additional offices in Wisconsin, New Jersey, Connecticut, and North Carolina. GSE is helping to lead the way to a clean and renewable energy future – energy produced right here in the USA.

WHY SOLAR ENERGY 
Jobs. Solar energy creates 7-times more jobs per MW than traditional generation. That’s because the money goes to components built and installed by workers, rather than to commodity fuels that often come from overseas.
Security. Solar energy is produced from resources that are available here at home, thus reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
Sustainability. Once built, solar energy farms sit quietly, with no noise, no moving parts, and require very little maintenance. Since the sun is free, ongoing operating costs are low and not at risk of rising due to fuel prices. If we want to ensure an unlimited supply of energy resources for future generations, renewable energy is the way to go.

PROJECT GSE NC-1 MARTIN
Our GSE NC-1 Martin project is comprised of 3,552 SunTech STP 280 solar panels, and uses Solaron inverters. The project was constructed by Hunt Electric Corporation and produces an output of 1MW of clean solar electricity to the community through their local provider, Blue Ridge Mountain Electric Membership Corporation.
The project is located in Brassville, NC which is famous for its New Year’s Eve celebration held at Clay’s Corner Convenience Store where a plexiglass pyramid containing a live opossum is lowered at midnight. Of course, the little guy is well-treated and released after the event.
