Why EcoGen Was Created
Founded in 2016 by Trevor Guilday, EcoGen America was originally built to support local solar professionals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware by connecting them with interested homeowners.
As the solar industry grew, so did the need for transparent, unbiased information. Recognizing a massive transparency gap where homeowners faced high-pressure sales tactics without reliable data, we shifted our focus to a completely homeowner-first model.
Today, our entire infrastructure is built around researching real solar pricing and incentives so that before a homeowner signs a contract, they know exactly what they are buying.
