Testimonial
-
We have been working with PSG... on procuring state grants to help us cover the cost of installing solar panels on multiple buildings within our district. They have been fantastic partners in that endeavor. PSG has navigated us through the time consuming and confusing application process by providing us with a steady hand and open communication. I am proud to report that we have had five schools approved for grants through the Solar for All program.
