Living the energy independent lifestyle.
Solar Battery Systems.
A home battery together with your solar system is your ticket to Energy Independence.
The energy independent lifestyle is an existence in acknowledgment of the finite resources of the earth and the responsibility of humans as stewards of technological impact and advancement toward the most efficient use of available assets. Energy independence affords you the ability to generate and distribute energy to sustain food, water, and comfortable shelter without reliance on a 3rd party provider or monopoly scale adjacent consumers.

What our customers are saying about us!
“We shopped quotes and were looking for not only the best price but also a team we could trust and John and his team went above and beyond every step of the way. They were professional and punctual and stayed on track throughout the whole project. They educated us and answered all of our questions with patience. The end result was beyond what we expected and I could not be happier! It looks great and performs as expected. Trust them with your solar project as they truly care about customer service and satisfaction”

“John Leonard and the entire crew from Emerald Energy crew were truly amazing to work with start to finish. From the first phone call when I was scoping out my 11kw solar project John answered the phone on a weekend and gave me a ton of information. Very communicative, straightforward honest and easy to work with. When I got competitive bids from other providers Emerald still came in with best price. He helped guide me through entire process with Duke Energy (utility) on getting the ($6,000!!!) credit they offered. He also walked me through using the digital app to track production and getting me financing options. The system is now meeting all of my monthly energy needs in our 4000 sqft house in Raleigh. He also installed a high speed electric vehicle charger in my garage for a small add-on to the contract at my request. Cannot write more highly of these guys. Thank you John and Team.”

“I absolutely love this company! John, Justin and the whole team were amazing! Love my solar panel setup! I really enjoyed meeting with John and talking about my solar needs with him. John was very flexible and said he wasn't locked into a manufacturer, which I appreciate. He said he just wanted us to be fully pleased with the system, which we totally are! Justin was incredibly courteous, and always kept us informed of every detail (haha, thanks for answering my many questions guys!) I think our house looks great, and I am so looking forward to energy independence we're going to have over the next 25 years!”
