Solar power in California

California is one of the best places in the nation to install solar panels.

A combination of good average sun exposure, expensive utility electricity rates, the solar tax credit and the strong net metering law means that homeowners can get an excellent return by installing residential solar panels here.

​

Solar panels not only generate energy on your roof, they can also generate cash in your pocket. That’s because when you go Solar you can save on your monthly utility bill and secure lower fixed energy rates for years to come. The savings over time continue to add up as PG&E continues to raise their rates and you are locked in at a 30%-50% savings since day one.

​

Understanding your bill with PG&E is usually step one.  Analyzing your bill from PG&E and your billing history will allow our solar specialists to design an accurate system that fits your lifestyle.  Most clients after going Solar generally use a bit more energy as they can now run their AC and or relax with their management around the house.  Your goal should always be to purchase a system at or above 100% of your current usage, unless their is a better available solution.

Some charges may not be covered by Solar, such as (minimum delivery charges), and certain solutions can be set up to help you with those charges (e.g. building a 110% system, or adding batteries).  

Knowing how to choose a provider can be challenging.  Prioritizing a Solution provider should be prioritized.

​

1.  Your looking for a Solid company

2.  Your looking for the Best Warranty

3.  Your looking for the Best price

4.  Your looking for the Best Financial Product

5.  The best Quality Equipment for your home

6.  Buy from a Local Installer if possible

Now that you have gone Solar, sit back and relax and enjoy the dramatic savings, knowing that your Solar investment will continue to grow as you are no longer part of the rate increases being passed on to you by your local utility.  Savings over 25 years can be as high as $200,000.

​

Once you go Solar you should receive a call from a SolarNet account specialist to go over your 1st and or 6th month bill review to make sure you understand how to read your new PG&E bill.
