Greene Tech Renewable Energy

Support during and after the install was great

Ian did an amazing job on the install and he really knows what he was doing. The only issue I had was it took a lot longer to install the system than anticipated, and it ended up taking ~5 months to install due mostly to other jobs, Ian having to move warehouses, winter weather, and then materials (panel) delays. We committed in Oct. 2018, but it took until April 2019 to start and finish the job. Even so, the job he did was great and his tech. support during and after the install was great as well.

I would recommend GTRE to anybody

I actually met Ian in an Advance Auto parking lot when he was getting ready install a battery in his truck. After he told me what he did I got a card and called him several months later to get started evaluating my house. He quoted me a great system and we agreed to install. If an installation can be perfect, that’s what we got. All the panels, conduit, inverters, etc. are perfectly in sync with my home. We went with all black panels which look great and the system is performing great as well. With the SolarEdge app on my phone I can check out exactly what each of the 33 panels are producing. I would recommend GTRE to anybody that wants to take the Solar leap!

Professional and Cost Competitive

Ian was professional and cost competitive in the product and services he provided. Ian guided me throughout the process with the TVA and local utility company from start to finish. I was reassured when the gentleman at the utility company mentioned he had worked with Ian in the past and considered Ian as one of the best. The icing on the cake was the actual price I paid was a few hundred dollars less than his quote.

STEAM Bus

GTRE installed 840 watts of solar panels for an educational project for our area schools. This was a very unique project - a school bus converted into a mobile STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) Learning Center with some internal electronics powered by the solar array, This bus will travel to local elementary schools and provide schoolchildren with hands-on learning in the STEM-related subjects. Ian and GTRE did a fantastic job. With his knowledge and experience, he created a very unique application that will benefit local schools for years to come. He was professional, courteous and on time in completion of this time-sensitive project. Great job!

Ian is professional, personable, and super knowledgeable, the very best combination. Always willing to answer his phone to help w/ even the most outlandish of questions. Very quick and responsive, quote information is detailed and accurate, shows up when he says he will, gets it done in the time he says it will take.

10kW Residential Ground-Mount Grid-Tied Solar Installation

GreeneTech Renewable Energy has worked with us, our local electric co-operative and TVA to get a ground-mount PV array (no battery storage) up and running without major problems. Since starting the process in late 2017 to retain the more favorable utility reimbursement rate, Ian Huddleston and crew came out several times to do the install, connection, and testing. From his shop to our work site, it's a two hour drive. Often, he'd work until early evening. GTRE maintained the agreed-upon contract price, even after the US government imposed a 30% tariff on solar panels, which was immediately passed along to GTRE. The panels were Italian-made (an EU country, not China), but still applied. Ian Huddleston made the contracting and installation process simple for homeowner and explained everything along the way.

Installation and activation were prompt and the service was great. The pricing was well within reason and there were no overruns.

Installation of 5 KW home system

Ian and wife did a great job. On time , on budget and efficient. Due to my late start my permit was about to expire, but Ian was able to get the job done with in the allotted time frame.

Solar Installation

GTRE installed a grid tied with battery backup system for us. They were always courteous, professional and did a great job. We got out first electric bill yesterday since our system was completed and we are already seeing a monthly savings. If you are thinking about a solar system call Ian & Amanda at GTRE and get it done right! Scott & Crystal Greeneville, TN

New Solar System

Everything installed as offered and proposed in an efficient and professional manner. All questions were responded to prior to and during install. The system is now operational producing power. There is no question we found the right people for this project. Ian and Amanda did a superb job.

Dr

My wife and I started looking into solar about 6 months ago. After doing a great deal of research myself, I found that many listings on the Internet were very misleading, many seemed to just be interested in selling inferior products, and seemed mostly to be interested in selling a product and NOT providing the information needed to make an informed decision. One EXCEPTION to this was Ian Huddleston of Green Tech Renewable Energy (GTRE). Ian contacted us immediately and without hesitation came to our home (a good one hour drive) even though I explained to him by phone that this could be a "challenging" installation. On arrival we discussed our solar options. Even though we have a number of trees, he made a thorough survey of what was possible. He was totally honest about what we could expect and since we did not want total energy independence how much we could reasonably expect. He took our wishes into consideration and made suggestions on how with minimal tree trimming we could optimize solar production with minimum esthetic changes. At no time did he "Hard Sell". On his second visit (my wife and I needed to think about it), we signed on the bottom line. He had the misfortune of ordering supplies from Florida during two hurricanes that delayed delivery but since he is a major distributer of the high quality products he supplied to us, delivery was expedited by his suppliers so the installation progressed and was finished with little delay. Ian was a joy to work with and was very professional. I am a bit of a kibitzer and asked him MANY questions during the install. He not only answered my plethora of questions but also educated me on the many ins and outs of the installation. Ours was a bit "out-of-the-box" since we also have a backup generator that handles essential loads during power outages. He was able to integrate the solar installation such that on an outage, immediate needs are met with solar and storage batteries, switching to the generator only when that is depleted. As I said before the products he supplies are VERY HIGH QUALITY and the solid black solar panels he supplied complement the style of our contemporary home very well. Indeed his installation almost looks like it was planned as a part of the original design. In conclusion, should you desire a well-designed, professionally installed, high quality solar installation, done efficiently at a very good price, look no further than Ian Huddleston and GTRE.

Greene tech

Ian is very knowledgeable. He worked with us to find a system to suit our needs, and helped us navigate the permitting process. The installation is professional and his support has been excellent. Highly recommend Greene Tech Renewable Energy.

Absolutely fantastic

Our installer, Ian, worked patiently with us to select, size and design the best system for our needs. He also helped us work through all of the TVA, and local power company paperwork to get us set up to sell energy back to the grid AND get us a grant from the USDA. The installation was quick, clean and completely painless for us as homeowners. The exterior panels, meters, and all of the indoor equipment were installed professionally and look sharp. He has also spent lots of time fine-tuning our particular set-up for optimal operation. We simply could not be more pleased to have found GTRE and would recommend them to anyone interested in getting a solar system. We shopped around, and their price was the most competitive in the region.

GTRE

Ian Huddleston, my contractor, was a pleasure to work with. He walked me through the whole process. Did an amazing job, the panels look great. His crew and himself were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Top notch job!

an overview of my customer service experience

being a customer of GTRE for a greenhouse energy source project was very gratifying. To have solar panels installed to operate a water pump using water from a nearby spring and to operate an exhaust fan is very energy efficient,cost effective and environmentally friendly. It has been a perfect fit for my organic straw bale gardening and using the greenhouse for starter plants and a late fall garden. I was very happy with the quality of work and the cost. Ian Huddleston was such pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend his business to anyone interested in using solar panels for any project with the utmost confidence.

Awesome

I had a great experience with GTRE, the price was very reasonable with top of the line products! Ian was great to work with from estimate to completion of product! GTRE answered all my questions with quick responses all through the project and after project. Don't do a job with out corasponding with GTRE first , they have the knowledge and experience to put you on the right track for your energy reduction needs.

solar with batteries

Ian Huddleston Is remarkably knowledgeable, personable, timely, accessible, skillful and professional.

Very good company, pleased with the installation.

I contacted this company after reading positive reviews online. Quite naturally I had lots of questions and they were all fully answered in timely manner. After I got a lower quote from a bigger company, Greene Tech was able to match it and did a very good installation job. The boss and other company staff are all very pleasant and easy to deal with. It was a great experience and I would recommend this company to my friends. I can't comment on after sales support yet, as it has been less than a month since the installation.

Solar Grid-Tie Success

I feel so fortunate to have found GTRE to install my 5kW grid-tied solar system. Year-end deadlines for the TVA program were approaching; thankfully, Ian had worked with the local electric company before, and knew what was needed to assure the application was approved in time and the system passed inspections. The panels he recommended look awesome and work great. It's clear he knows the products, and takes great care and pride in his work. I recommend GTRE most highly.

Excellent service, quality and price

I had a 6.2kW system installed at my house. Greene Tech handled everything. The install went very smoothly and the quality of the installation is the best I have ever seen, bar none. What's even better is that they are one of the most affordable solar installers out there. They gave me several options for my solar installation and helped me weigh the pros and cons of each option. Overall I feel that I got the best installation that fits my area and at a price that's more than competitive.
