The more accurate the information you can give
us, the more accurate will be the estimate. This is especially true
when it comes to the amount of your monthly electrical bill. When combined
with the name of your power company (whose rates we know), we can get
a good estimate of your existing monthly power usage. This then allows
us to determine the number of solar panels needed to provide the percentage
of solar power you specified you would like to achieve.
California Free Solar Evaluation
Solar power in California is growing at a very rapid pace. A renewable
portfolio standard requires that 20% of California’s energy come
from renewable resources by 2010, and 33% by 2020. Due it its location
and geography, solar is one of the most effective of these sources in
the region.
In fact, California leads the nation in the number of homes that already
have solar panels installed residentially. If you are moving to the
CA area, it is definitely worth getting a free solar evaluation to see
if this will benefit you.
Berkeley plans to be the first city in the country to allow citizens
to install a solar kit without any initial payment. This program is
in the pilot stage and will involve higher property taxes simultaneously
with the energy savings. Goals like these make California one of the
most promising and forward-thinking regions as far as solar panel installation.
