Residential Solar System Development
More people are doing their part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at their homes while simultaneously saving cash on their electric bill!
GC ReVOLT, LLC is a trusted Trade Ally of OPPD, NPPD, and LES, and has developed solar systems in cities and small towns on all different shapes and sizes of residences from Honey Creek, IA to Ogallala, NE.

Solar with Battery Storage (Grid-Tied)
GC ReVOLT is helping more Nebraskans with their energy security goals by offering outage protection services from the latest technologies.
Battery storage helps farms and residences maintain electrical reliability during blackouts that can be caused by extreme weather or other disruptions. Batteries allow you to control your electrical load to match your energy habits.
Pictured is a a Sol-Ark hybrid inverter and Pytes battery cabinet for 4 batteries. This system is connected to 9kw of rooftop solar at a residence in Omaha, and also includes an electrical vehicle (EV) charger to keep the resident's EV powered by the sun.
Farm Solar System Development
Farmers are turning to solar to reduce inflating input costs in order to stay competitive. This includes tightening their belts on electricity costs.
More farmers are leading by example in Nebraska and Iowa. As the U.S. electrifies, farms will depend more on on-site solar to help power their needs including ET's (electric trucks and tractors). Solar (with battery storage) allows farms to continue to operate even when the surrounding grid goes down. The future farm is sun powered.

Commercial Solar System Development
Small businesses and large companies alike are turning to solar to cut costs, and reduce emissions. In OPPD territory, rules and regs have been updated to allow for more commercial systems to come online. This takes pressure off of the grid as Omaha and the surrounding communities are bracing for an unprecedented increase of new energy demand in the upcoming years. OPPD, NPPD, and LES, Nebraska's 3 big utilities, are all forecasting the same pattern of increasing energy needs.
Commercial applications can also use solar tax credits and depreciation to decrease tax liabilities. Moving forward, commercial solar will have a big role in powering Nebraska.

Solar with Battery Storage (Off-Grid)
There are some places that the electrical lines just don't go. If you are the off-grid type, we are your company. GC ReVOLT is here to bring the energy from the sun to those hard-to-reach places.
Pictured is a 1kw off-grid solar system with battery storage so the members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe can take their ceremonies anywhere.
Large Utility Scale Solar and Wind Energy Landowner Education + Organization (Land Agent Services)
Farmers and ranchers have untapped valuable commodities in their nationally ranked solar and wind energy resources.
GC ReVOLT teams up with large renewable energy development companies to help educate, organize, and lease land so landowners and rural communities can access valuable new revenues from solar and wind projects. So far we have assisted in setting up 4 large scale projects including a 400-megawatt wind farm, a 75-megawatt wind farm, and a 200 megawatt solar farm.
If you are a company working to lease land for large-scale commercial projects in Eastern Nebraska or Western Iowa, please consider GC ReVOLT.
Service Calls
GC ReVOLT focuses on servicing existing solar systems.
Our systems are built for the longterm but they still are a machine and may need to be serviced from time to time. If your solar system gets knocked down in a storm or doesn't seem to be performing up to expectations, please call. We will take a look at your system whether we developed it or not.

Education
Education is the foundation of a strong community.
GC ReVOLT designs school curriculum, lectures at colleges, and speaks at organizational meetings. What we are learning in the exciting arena of alternative energy development, we want to share with you!
In this picture students at Nebraska Indian Community College (NICC) learn from the area State Electrical Inspector and Max Christensen at Christensen Electric, LLC during part of a GC ReVOLT led course focused on Native Entrepreneur opportunities in renewable energy. The pictured solar system includes battery storage and helps back up the NICC server during power outages.
Government Relations
GC ReVOLT is committed to the aggressive expansion of zero-emission alternative energy resources and understands the importance of good policy to help reach those goals.
Over the years we have gained a lot of experience working on renewable energy and environmental issues at all levels of government. We have been part of the development of laws that protect landowners through the leasing process, which direct revenues paid by companies into Nebraska counties, and we have been advocates of evolving Nebraska's net-metering laws to be more inclusive for larger farms and Tribal communities. We want to help clean up restrictive policies, and utility and governmental overreach that limit renewable energy development. Because we work with the people on the ground level to help deliver their renewable energy goals we come across shortcomings in state and federal policy often.
If you align with our commitment to aggressive greenhouse gas drawdown and responsible community-based development then please contact us. We would like to work with you.
