My name is Andrew Williams and I am the Co-Founder and Environmental Scientist of GreenSky Energetics, Inc. I realized my passion for renewable energy at the start of college. Sparked by learning from some of Wisconsin’s best renewable energy professionals, I acquired a BS degree in Environmental Science at UWGB, with intensive research in solid waste management, solar power and anaerobic digestion. In addition, I supplemented my degree with a Renewable Energy Certificate from Madison Area Technical College and multiple courses from the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.

I have acquired certification by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Solar Thermal Installers, a very rigorous certification process. Having personally installed 55 solar heating systems, and restoring 33 vintage heating systems back to operation (dated August 2009) , do believe I am the most experienced NABCEP Certified Installer in North East Wisconsin.

Beginning of GreenSky
Passionate about renewable energy, acutely aware of the looming energy crisis, and deeply concerned about not only the long term rising cost of fossil fuels, but the effects burning those fuels have on the environment, Richard L. Larson and Andrew Williams set out to make a difference in Wisconsin.
On their way home from a renewable energy workshop in Rice Lake, WI, Richard and Andrew decided that talking about renewable energy just wasn't good enough. They needed to start a business that provided sales and installation of renewable energy devices - a business that would help relieve Wisconsin's dependence on foreign sources of fossil fuel energy and make for a cleaner environment.
And so, on a sunny day in May of 2007, GreenSky Energetics, Inc. was founded.
Currently, GreenSky Energetics offers consultation and installation solutions for residential and commercial water and space heating using the sun's energy. Whether you have a small one-occupant home, a pool needing many gallons of water heated per day, or a warehouse needing heat in the winter, we can serve you. We plan to install small scale wind turbines and our final stage of growth will be the installation of anaerobic digesters on small dairy farms to produce heat , methanol, and bio-diesel.
Our mission is to provide both a long- and short-term savings for our customers, while helping the environment and reducing our dependence on foreign energy. Our number one goal as a company is to obtain customer satisfaction through integrity and honesty. This is why we offer such a long and comprehensive warranty on all our products and services — giving our customers the peace of mind they deserve.
