about us
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide our customers with honest, real solutions to reduce their fossil fuel consumption and lower their long-term energy costs. We want to be your solar energy and electrical partner.
Founded in 2007 by Kevin and Shana Good, Good Energy Solutions has earned a reputation for our expert reliable service, long workmanship warranties, and quality commercial and residential solar installations. We’re a family-owned and operated small business that aims to educate people about the benefits of solar power. Good Energy Solutions has made a commitment to providing our customers with solar installations that generate at least as much, if not more, energy that is quoted on our bids.
We are engineers and craftsmen designing for efficiency while keeping aesthetics and longevity in mind. The solar modules that we install come with the longest warranties in the solar industry. Our team is committed to servicing our customers with long warranties as well. Also, we have more NABCEP Certified Solar Professionals on staff than any other company in Kansas or Missouri. To achieve this certification, PV installers must demonstrate that they possess extensive solar PV installation experience, have received advanced training, and passed the rigorous NABCEP certification exam.
