Do Good Energy purchases aging or damaged solar systems, replaces broken components like panels and inverters, and optimizes the system to run better than when it was originally installed. You'll continue to benefit from clean energy production without the headache of managing repairs.

We work with all types of solar projects including rooftop installations, ground-mounted systems, carports, community solar, and more. We handle projects of all sizes, from small residential systems to large commercial and utility-scale installations.

Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your current situation and recommend the most appropriate service. Whether you're dealing with compliance issues, unknown ownership, maintenance problems, or simply want to sell your system, we'll guide you to the best solution for your specific needs.

After taking ownership, we conduct a comprehensive assessment, make necessary repairs or upgrades, ensure all documentation and compliance requirements are met, and implement a regular maintenance schedule. The system will continue to generate clean energy, but without any burden on you.

Yes, ongoing maintenance is a core part of our service offering. When we take ownership of a solar project, we implement a proactive maintenance schedule to ensure optimal performance, prevent issues before they occur, and maximize the system's lifespan and energy production.

We prioritize responsive service. Initial assessments are typically scheduled within 1-2 weeks of contact. For urgent issues affecting system performance or safety, we aim to respond within 24-48 hours. Our goal is to minimize downtime and ensure your solar project operates efficiently.

Operating an aging solar project can lead to several risks, including reduced efficiency, higher operational costs, and potential safety hazards. As components like panels and inverters age, they may not perform as intended, and outdated technology can make it difficult to find replacement parts. Additionally, older systems may not meet current regulatory standards, increasing the risk of non-compliance.

If you’re unsure whether your solar project is performing optimally, it’s important to monitor its energy production. However, if you lack access to system performance data or login credentials, it can be challenging to determine how well your system is working. Underperformance might manifest as lower energy output, unexpected utility bills, or even system malfunctions. Do Good Energy can assess your system’s performance and help identify and resolve any issues.

As you upgrade or repair an aging solar project, ensuring that your old equipment is compatible with new technology is crucial. For instance, the voltage (Vmp) and current (Imp) output of older solar panels must match the input requirements of modern inverters, particularly microinverters, which have specific voltage and current ranges. If your older equipment falls within these ranges, it can still be effectively used. However, older panels and inverters may have different electrical characteristics, so it’s essential to verify compatibility before making any upgrades. Do Good Energy can help assess your system's components and ensure that any new equipment integrates seamlessly with the existing setup.

If your solar project is broken, it’s likely not contributing to your energy savings, and your energy bills may even be higher than expected. Unfortunately, repairing an old or broken system can be costly, especially if it involves outdated technology or hard-to-find components. However, leaving the system in disrepair can lead to even greater long-term costs. Do Good Energy can help assess the situation, provide cost-effective repair or upgrade options, and work to get your system back online, so it starts lowering your energy bills as intended.

Letting Do Good Energy take over your aging solar project means you can rest assured that it’s in expert hands. We will assess and upgrade outdated components, restore system performance, and handle any maintenance or repairs needed. You’ll benefit from improved solar system efficiency, reduced operational risks, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your solar project is running smoothly and safely.

With electricity demand on the rise and energy prices increasing, ensuring your solar project is fully operational is more important than ever. By getting your project running, you can lock in a fixed energy rate through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and protect yourself from future price hikes.

Energy rates are rising rapidly due to increasing electricity demand driven by industries like data centers, manufacturing, and electric vehicles. Global electricity demand is forecasted to grow by around 4% in 2024, up from 2.5% in 2023, marking the highest annual growth rate since 2007. In the U.S., electricity demand is expected to grow by 4.7% over the next five years, with peak demand increasing by 38 GW. As a result, U.S. residential electricity prices rose by 6.2% in 2023, outpacing annual inflation. Locking in a fixed rate now can help you avoid these escalating costs.

When you sell or donate your solar project to Do Good Energy, we take full ownership and responsibility for its operation. We’ll repair, upgrade, and maintain the system, ensuring it runs efficiently. You’ll continue to receive the energy generated by the project at a fixed rate, providing you with stable, predictable energy costs without the burden of managing the system.

If your solar project remains idle or underperforming, you’ll likely see rising energy costs as electricity prices increase. By selling or donating your project to Do Good Energy, we’ll get it back online quickly, allowing you to lock in a fixed energy rate and avoid the impact of escalating electricity prices.

Locking in a fixed energy rate with Do Good Energy through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) provides you with long-term stability in your electricity costs. As energy prices continue to rise due to increasing demand and inflation, having a fixed rate ensures that you won’t be subject to unpredictable price hikes, giving you peace of mind and more control over your energy expenses.

Selling your solar project can be a strategic decision if the project has become too burdensome to manage, requires costly upgrades, or is not performing as expected. Additionally, selling can provide you with a much-needed capital infusion to recapitalize your business, allowing you to invest in new opportunities or stabilize your financial situation.

We purchase solar projects in any condition, whether they’re fully operational, in need of significant upgrades, or broken and requiring extensive repairs.
