In commercial solar power, Go Green Solar Solutions has earned the highest customer and industry recognition by providing accurate system performance information and by being reliable, responsive and trustworthy. In residential and commercial solar power, GGSS is a pioneer in the field of photovoltaics (PV), building systems that produce cost-effective electrical power from solar energy.

An Early Interest in Solar

GGSS founder, Greg Johanson, designed and installed off-grid PV systems in the U.S. and Mexico in the early 1980s. In 1984, Greg designed and built the world’s first solar vehicle, the Sunrunner, to establish the Guinness World speed record (41 mph) for solar vehicles. His interest in PV and vehicles inspired him to design and build the first solar powered Prius, two years before Toyota and other hybrid car manufacturers.

In the early 1990s, Greg participated in the development the California net metering law and first solar rebate program for grid-connected PV systems in the United States. Also in the 1990s, GGSS designed and installed PV systems for utility companies like the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), Southern California Edison (SCE), Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP), Burbank Water & Power and other electric utilities.

By the time PV began to really become popular, GGSS was already rated by the California Energy Commission as the “2001 Best Photovoltaic Installer” and the “Highest percentage performance of installed systems in Southern California.”
