We are thankful to our customers that chose us to "Go Solar!" As a collective group over 11,350,000kWh of clean energy has been generated from the sun over the past 10 years! Thank you for becoming "Part Of The Solution."

KANSAS
There are several Kansas Utility Cooperatives that are friendly to home solar and do not apply additional charges or rate structures to customers bills. FreeState Electrical Cooperative is just one of those collectives. Give us a call and we'll help you determine if your utility is solar friendly and if solar is a good investment for you.

MISSOURI
There is still some rebate money available to some of KCP&L territory.  Give us a call and we'll help you determine if the rebate is still available in your area.

In order to take full advantage of the 30% Federal Tax Credit, please call us for a no obligation quote NOW to ensure that your system is operational by end of 2019. 

Why Choose SunPower?
SunPower panels degrade at a median rate of 0.2% per year — 70% less than the annual degradation rate for conventional solar panels. READ THE PROOF

The KCC approved the settlement agreement for KCP&L in Kansas on December 13, 2018. The agreement says Kansas residential customers will see a decrease to electrical rates. However, customers wanting to install solar or a distributed generation energy system are subject to a 3 part rate moving forward. 

1. Summer and Winter demand charges will be $9.00/kW and $3.00/kW, respectively
2. Customer charge will be $14.25 
3. The energy charge is $0.07688 per kWh
4. Demand meaasurement shall be a 60-minute intervals
5. The demand billing period shall be the daily hours of 2:00pm through 7:00pm Central Time, except for weekends, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day

If you are affected by the distributed generation (DG) rate: Please pay attention to when various electrical appliances are running between the hours of 2:00-7:00 PM. Try to space appliances and ac/electric heat out to reduce the demand peak load. For example, run your dryer and dishwasher at night after 7:00. Make sure your AC does not turn on while cooking dinner on an electric stove. Put a timer on your electric hot water heater, so it does not run during those hours, etc.  

 In order to minimize the possible impact of KCPL demand charges in Kansas, we encourage owners of self-generated energy systems to take a look at efficiencies and demand management technologies to help reduce power consumption during peak hours. For more information, please contact us. 

Utility rate structure charges have been disputed and reversed in other states, like Nevada. Contact your legislative officials to advocate for the right for energy freedom and to support the renewable energy industry in Kansas.  Connect with The Clean Energy Business Council or The Climate and Energy Project to get involved.

Congratulations to ES Lighting in Lawrence, Kansas on Going Solar!!  The 41.4kW roof top solar array consists of 120 335W SunPower P-17 solar modules. Going solar before end of 2019 and taking advantage of the 30% Solar Federal Tax Credit makes great business sense!

We are excited for Central Presbyterian Church located in MidTown of Kansas City, Missouri. The installation of their 92.04kW system will begin this month.  Be sure to read our next newsletter to see pictures of the completed installation.

The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) offers certifications that are widely recognized as the "gold standard" for renewable energy professionals. Certification is achieved when individuals who have specialized solar training and on-the-job experience pass a very rigorous exam.
When you hire a NABCEP certified professional, you can be confident that you are getting the job done by solar professionals with the "know-how" that you need. They are part of a select group of people who have distinguished themselves by being awarded NABCEP certified credentials.

Choosing the right people, to select, manage and install a solar every system on your home or business plays a big part in the overall success of the project. An ever-growing number of consumers, incentive programs, employers, insurers and bid documents are insisting on NABCEP certification for their project. They recognize the value and peace of mind that comes with hiring individuals with this professional accomplishment. 

Good Energy Solutions is proud to have 8 NABCEP Certified Professionals on staff. Kevin Good, Michael Lee, Bryan Cranston, David Vera, Justin Browning, Jordan George, Andrew Rondon, and Michael Schumann. Go Solar in confidence as a NABCEP Certified Professional works on your project every step of the way. From sale, to design, to installation, to interconnection, to inspection.

Why is clean energy also a conservative value? It's good for families, national security, and business. Micro-grids offer national security, cyber security and security from natural disasters. The benefit is a more resilient grid. Listen to this podcast from Renew Missouri for more insight.

Customers have until the end of March to receive a full tax credit for buying electric General Motors models. READ ARTICLE
