Marietta,

five years of service to Georgia. Established in September

installers in the state. Soenso, which is an acronym for Southern
Environmental Solutions, installs commercial and residential

“ Much of Georgia is marginal for wind energy,” said
Mr. Cone, “but there are micro-climates in our area where
our residential/small commercial-sized wind turbines perform quite
well. However, Georgia is indisputably a solar state.” Most
of Georgia is rated as “very good” for solar radiation
according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL). Georgia is on par with much of Florida,
the self-proclaimed “Sunshine State”, for solar energy
potential.
Currently there are generous Federal and Georgia financial incentives in place
for the installation of renewable energy. Generally speaking for commercial solar
or wind energy installations the Federal incentive is a 30% income tax credit
or grant, and the Georgia incentive is a 35% income tax credit or rebate. And
generally speaking for residential solar or wind energy installations the Federal
incentive is a 30% income tax credit, and the Georgia incentive is a 35% income
tax credit. There are published maximum limits on Georgia renewable energy incentives.
In its “long” five-year history Soenso has provided renewable energy
systems for clients in a variety of categories including churches, inns, museums,
office buildings, private residences, restaurants, schools and warehouse facilities,
among others. Soenso Energy encourages the practice of energy conservation first
and then the implementation of renewable energy. We are helping Georgia move
away from our dependence on dirty fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal that
are major contributors to the climate crisis. Soenso Energy is working toward
making renewable energy a more significant component of Georgia’s overall
energy mix.
