The growth of the solar industry depends on contractors, EPCs and developers who are bringing residential and commercial solar to scale across the US. GRNE solar is one such solar EPC, founded in Chicago and recently acquired by financial services company Nelnet.
On this episode of the Clean Power Hour we bring you Eric Peterman the founder and CEO of GRNE - a residential and commercial EPC working across five midwestern states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska) and soon many more.
