Frequently asked questions

Solar can significantly reduce your energy bills, with savings depending on factors like system size, energy usage, and local incentives. On average, most customers save 20-50% on their energy costs annually.

Solar panels are low-maintenance. Cleaning them a few times a year and ensuring they’re free of debris is usually sufficient. Most systems come with warranties of 20-25 years, offering peace of mind.

Some tasks that our team performs during a bi-annual O&M site visit are: inverter servicing, DC & AC electrical inspections, PV array & racking inspection, DAS (data acquisition system) inspection & testing, and any corrective maintenance that is necessary.

At Gardner Energy, we assist with all zoning and land-use approvals, permits,
Local, state, and federal regulatory compliance, interconnection agreements with utilities, power purchase agreements (PPA) or energy off-take structuring, tax incentives and grant applications.

Sunburst Elementary

40 kW Rooftop Solar Project

We partnered with Davis County School District to install a new 40 kW ballast roof system at Sunburst Elementary School in Layton, Utah. This project utilizes space on the roof of the elementary school to generate clean energy for the school. In fact, this 40 kW system is estimated to offset the carbon emissions equivalent to planting 2,413 trees. Sunburst Elementary is contributing significantly to both the knowledge and the environmental sustainability for it’s students.

Salt Lake Community College

143 kW Carport Solar Canopy

We partnered with Salt Lake Community College to design and build them a 143 kW solar system on a parking canopy.
