With EcoMen, you can expect quality, consistency, and reliability on projects of all sizes and complexity.

One of the most underserved markets for solar across the United States are Non-Profit organizations (NPOs). There are countless NPOs in every state and these are the organizations who could really use savings the most so they can carry out their individual missions. It is now possible for us to reduce the total project cost by 15% for all eligible organizations. This means a $300,000 project would cost $255,000, a savings of $45,000.
EcoMen installed our home system in 2013. The process was easy, and the system has been totally trouble-free. We should break even on our investment in 2019, and then it's all gravy. ...	
I made them jump though hoops. When they came to me with the quote, I got my own quotes from SolarCity, Solaredge, Vivint and Trinity. EcoMen solar didn't come in at the cheapest, but they offered the biggest system with the interest rate comparable to the...	
One of the best contractors we've ever dealt with. Everyone was so knowledgeable and responsive. The install is perfect, there have been no problems. We couldn't be happier with it. The crew was also really professional when they were here. They left the...	
There is no possible way for me too fully express in words how much I love to pay a $2.75 utility bill each month. Like most homeowners, I was burning through $200 - $300 in utility expenses each month. It didn't matter that I took cold showers or turned...

My experience with Ecomen Solar was a very pleasant one. Joe Aurilia spearheaded the project, and everything went as well as it was scheduled. I was particularly impressed with the work ethic of Joe and the electricians, who had to deal with 100 degree...

This company installed a solar panel system on our roof in July 2011. The job was done in a short time, people showed themselves as a very knowledgeable and eff ective team. The system works flawlessly, covering all our needs in electric power and saving...	
Just had our solar system activated on Aug 2, 2016. The fellows who did the work were terrific. Peter showed me how the meter runs backwards when he pulled the switch. I’m very excited. I would (and have already) recommend Ecomen to all. Thanks so much....	
I had my solar panels installed in February 2016 by Ecomen Solar. The first thing they noticed was that I needed a new Main Electrical Panel Box. I knew this from when another electrician did work for me. The new service box was installed in a few hours...

Warranties are a big deal. Especially in solar. Solar systems are expected to operate in all weather conditions for decades. So what are the important points of module (panel) warranties? What are the parameters and conditions that matter, and how does a...	
Government incentives can be confusing and finding the facts in a single place is often a bit of a struggle. Well, I am happy to share that the NC Clean Energy Technology Center has taken the grunt work out of this for you! The below PDF is a fantastic...	
We found a discovery piece shining light into murky shadows of the solar industry. A tale of well-meaning, solar-naive homeowners (people like you or I) who’d been taken advantage of by unscrupulous solar companies using questionable sales tactics… to rope them into signing up for a shoddy solar system under an agreement of unfavorable terms.
As the solar finance landscape evolves, savvy homeowners are continuing to move AWAY FROM LEASES and TOWARDS SOLAR LOANS. Why? 1. Better savings 2. Better home resale value because a 3rd party (leasing company) is not involved in the sale. See here. EcoMen...	
Now that your solar system is installed, its time to prepare to receive the benefits of your SRECs. One SREC is granted to you by the state for every 1000kWh (1MWh) of energy your grid tied solar system produces. GATS (Generation Attributes System) is...	
Each time a project generates 1,000 kWh of electricity, an SREC is earned. System owners report the energy production to the SREC tracking system, which allows SRECs to be placed in the customer's electronic account. SRECs can then be sold on the SREC...	
I often feel solar today is like the microwave oven in the ‘80s. While we cannot imagine a kitchen today without a microwave, that was not the case in 1980. Even though the microwave was created in 1946 and made available for home use in the late 1970’s,...	
With the incredible success of solar installations over the last 10 years we have seen utility companies step up and directly offer their consumers more up to date and detailed information on the benefits of solar and the processes for connecting solar...	
Between the time the solar system is installed and your utility company replaces your old single direction meter with a new bi-directional meter it is possible to see your meter spin backwards. This will happen during periods of time where the solar system...	
Yea, that’s a real odd title for a blog.. and I am not even sorry for something I did or my company did, but I am forced to apologize for the industry I am in. We’ve known for many years that real estate agents were not giant fans of solar systems on homes...	
I write the post today not because I think online marketplaces for solar should not exist, but because my team receives so much negative feedback from potential clients when they are only trying to help the customer receive the best system for their home....	
Any solar installer who’s been around for a few years has inevitably faced well-meaning (and some not so well-meaning) folks asking about the cost of going solar. Some read an article somewhere and self-inform themselves with out-of-context information....	
NY-Sun has put together a phenomenally great list of Solar Myths all busted in a single PDF (also walked through on video). We hope going through this helps to clear the air with those who have doubts in their minds about solar. They cover all the top ones...	
Solar technology isn’t new. Its history spans from the 7th Century B.C. to today. We started out concentrating the sun’s heat with glass and mirrors to light fires. Today, we have everything from solar-powered buildings to solar-powered vehicles. ...
