Testimonial

“They gave us a real nice proposal that showed us how much power could be generated, and even offered a guarantee that said we will produce this much power for you - if we don’t we’ll cover the difference.”

Preserving Precious Resources

Looking out one of BrydgeWork’s many stained-glass windows, you’ll see the beautiful surroundings of the Shenandoah Valley. This region is known around the world for its tree-covered mountains and scenic overlooks, making it easy to keep nature top-of-mind for locals and visitors alike. Going solar is one way businesses can pay homage to their surroundings and make a real, sustainable impact. Steve’s solar system saves over 800 trees each year.

Guaranteed Performance

Steve had been looking into solar energy options for a number of years, knowing it was always something he wanted for his business. When Steve heard about Paradise Energy’s Triple Ten Guarantee, and our willingness to stand behind the production estimates of our systems, he knew he would be investing in a solar system that would provide a substantial return for his business.
