Grid Connected Solar Electric Systems

We offer many different systems using Evergreen and SunPower Solar panels
and we can customize and tailor a system to your needs.

We prefer to use Evergreen solar panels for our PV system designs (click here to find out why), but Plan It Solar is also an Authorized SunPower dealer. If necessary, we can source solar panels made by BP, Mitsubishi and Sharp as well.


Evergreen Solar, an independent US-based solar panel company located in Marlboro, Massachusetts, was formed in 1994. Their business focus is on producing high quality solar panels made here in America. They use a patented manufacturing process invented by an M.I.T. professor that reduces the raw materials, chemical waste and energy required to produce their solar panels by about one third, earning distinction as the world's "greenest" solar manufacturer.
