About Nelnet Renewable Energy
Nelnet Renewable Energy is a full-service solar engineering, procurement, and construction firm with offices at 121 S. 13th St, Lincoln, NE, serving the greater Omaha and Lincoln metro areas. The company traces its roots to GRNE Solar, founded in 2012 in Illinois, which was acquired by Nelnet, Inc. in 2022 and rebranded as Nelnet Renewable Energy in 2023.
Nelnet Renewable Energy designs and installs residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar energy systems. The company handles all aspects of a solar project in-house, from system design through installation, maintenance, and monitoring. Most residential installations take one to three days, and the team provides a full walkthrough of the completed system. Nelnet has completed 68 projects in the Omaha metro area.
The company holds a BBB A+ rating and is a member of the Solar Energy Industries Association. Nelnet Renewable Energy has since been acquired by MARS Energy Group, a national leader in commercial and utility-scale solar solutions, further strengthening its technical capabilities and financial resources.
