Intelligent Green Solutions

What Intelligent Green Solutions does

Intelligent Green Solutions (IGS) is a privately held US clean-energy contractor founded in 2011 in Ithaca, New York. The company designs, sells, and installs integrated energy systems — solar photovoltaic (PV), solar hot water (thermal), heat pumps (mini-split, geothermal, air-to-water, and hydronic), battery storage, plus adjacent services (roofing, electrical upgrades, backup generators, boilers/furnaces, EV charger readiness) — for residential, commercial/industrial, agricultural, government, and low-income customers across New York, California, Delaware, Tennessee, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, with an engineering center in Kraków, Poland.

Its go-to-market is sales-led and regionally distributed: in-house sales teams conduct site surveys and produce custom engineering proposals, supported by toll-free phone lines, online quote forms, a newsletter, and a customer referral program; over 80% of renewable energy installations serve commercial/industrial customers including agricultural operations, manufacturing facilities, restaurants, and healthcare sites. The company runs an in-house Clean Energy Training Center in Bainbridge, NY, and holds certifications with major OEMs (Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, Samsung, LG, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, ClimateMaster, REC, Solis, SMA).

Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware sale plus installation services across three core streams (solar electric, heat pumps, solar hot water), supplemented by a managed-services component via project financing partnerships. Pricing tiers for residential solar range from $18,000–$28,000 for smaller systems to $45,000–$70,000 for larger all-electric home arrays; financing is provided through partners including Concert (up to 25 years) and EFS, with subscription-style offers from $99/month. IGS also maintains an Investors page offering project financing and solar thermal fund participation. The company was historically referenced as a division of Innovative Solar Solutions; no institutional funding rounds, M&A events, or public listings are disclosed.

Direct peers

• ADT Solar: Residential solar installer spun out of ADT, operating across multiple US states with a door-to-door and direct-sales model. Directly comparable to IGS's residential solar GTM, equipment partnerships (Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla), and customer base.
• Sunrun: Largest US residential solar installer with a national footprint, lease/PPA/loan financing options, and battery storage (Brightbox). Direct competitor to IGS in the residential solar installation segment, with substantially greater scale and captive financing.
• Trinity Solar: Regional residential and commercial solar installer headquartered in New Jersey with strong Northeast US presence. Comparable regional solar installer model with similar residential focus, in-house installation crews, and state-incentive-driven sales motion.
• Freedom Forever: US residential solar installer with multi-state operations and a vertically integrated sales-to-installation model. Comparable to IGS in product scope (solar PV with battery add-ons), financing partnerships, and direct-sales GTM motion.
• Momentum Solar: Residential solar installer operating primarily in the Northeast and other US markets with an in-house sales and installation model. Closely comparable to IGS in target customer (residential homeowners), in-house delivery approach, and reliance on state incentives and tax credits.
• PetersenDean Roofing & Solar: US residential roofing and solar installer offering integrated roof-and-solar bundles. Comparable to IGS's combined roofing + solar delivery model and whole-home energy upgrade positioning.
• SunPower: Long-established US solar company manufacturing high-efficiency panels and operating an installer/dealer network. Comparable to IGS in residential and commercial solar offering, though at substantially greater scale and with proprietary panel technology.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla Energy: Tesla's energy business offering solar roof, retrofit solar panels, and Powerwall batteries. Comparable to IGS's solar-plus-storage bundle, particularly given IGS's certified Powerwall installer status, with broader brand reach and integrated hardware.
• Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US: Joint venture distributing Mitsubishi ductless and cold-climate heat pumps across North America. Direct equipment partner to IGS (Mitsubishi HP Dealer status) and a broader incumbent in the residential and light commercial heat pump category where IGS competes.
• Carrier Home Comfort: Major HVAC manufacturer and heat pump provider operating through a national dealer network. Comparable to IGS's heat pump offering as an OEM whose equipment IGS installs, and as a broader incumbent in the electrification/heat pump transition.
