As technologies improve and the cost of traditional energy sources rise, within three to seven years, unsubsidized solar power could cost no more to end customers than electricity generated by fossil fuels - McKinsey Quarterly

“Solgen Energy’s professional staff provided Redlands with honest advice and quality customer service throughout the entire process. They made it easy for us to achieve immediate benefits including reduced energy costs and the prevention of greenhouse gas emissions, and also the opportunity to educate a new generation of climate change savvy future leaders.”

David Lamb, Chief Operating Officer, Redlands, Cremorne NSW

"From the outset, Solgen Energy presented as an efficient and professional company which responded obligingly to customer requests. Solgen Energy installed our solar panels well within the scheduled time and kept us informed of what was happening at each stage of the process. It was a pleasure to work with such a customer focused organisation.”
