Green Planet Services and Specifics
Green Planet doesn’t work with intermediaries during the installation process, meaning they do the whole process for you until the system start functioning. Below are their detailed products and services.
Solar Panels and services offered by Green Planet
Green Planet offers different solar panels depending on the customer’s needs and priorities. But, they prefer Panasonic solar panels for the panels’ performance, warranty and repetition. See their standard types of solar in detail.
Monocrystalline solar panels
The company prioritizes these types of solar for their high performance, with an efficiency score of up to 22% in the modern solar panels, so few panels can generate more electricity. Also, they have a lower temperature coefficient. Meaning they are not affected much by increased temperatures. However, they are the most expensive solar panel type. Lastly, they have a longer lifespan of about 25-40 years, so your system will serve you for years before it needs upgrading.
Polyschristalline solar panels
Polycrystalline is much like mono-si but with lower performance and durability, but they are more affordable than mono-si. So when you’re on a budget or your project doesn’t need a lot of energy per hour, they can be your best bet.
Types of solar systems
Green Planet has different solar system options. They offer a grid-tied system which is cheaper, and the excess power can be stored on the utility grid. Most people prefer this system. Also, they have off-grid systems which use backup batteries or generators, which is ideal for people in remote areas. The latter is expensive due to the cost of batteries, generators, and inverters.
Solar Pool
The company’s team installs pool heating systems that distinguish it from most local solar installers. Customers reported excellent work by the Green Planet team.
Solar Carport
The company installs solar carports that you can orient easily at any angle for maximum solar exposure. So you can upgrade your car shade if you have limited space.
Green Planet serves the people around its base in Largo but extends to Tampa, Seminole, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, and St Petersburg in Florida.
Installation costs and process
Costs
From the customer reviews we traced, Green Planet offers competitive prices for the quality of its products and services. This aligns with the company’s mission of providing “solutions to High Electric Bills.” And since the quotation costs are not fixed, you can get the best price per watt in Largo with a little negotiation. In addition to best value pricing, the company’s staff is punctual and well-trained they offer qualty service. Green Planet offers financing support if you cant pay upfront costs. And their panels qualify for the federal tax credit. Although they have high upfront costs, their financing compensates them. The system can pay for itself in about 5 years. We recommend Green Planet for its value pricing and quality services.

Maintenance
Regarding maintenance, our experts found a few unknowns about the company. We couldn’t get enough information on the company’s maintenance culture, whether it offers after-installation maintenance, and if so, whether it is free or paid? However, the customers reviewed them positively as easy to contact and flexible scheduling. Lastly, it’s not clear whether they have a 24/7 monitoring chip on their systems. Although there is no single complaint from the customers, it’s not clear how Green Planet does maintenance.
