Solar Electric Power Module Location
Module LocationFor most customers, residential or commercial, the roof is a great location. It usually already has the structural specifications that modules require. All that is needed is mounting hardware and appropriate flashings. If the roof is not applicable or desired, then various other mounting options are available. We can install solar shade awnings or there are numerous ground-mount options including standard ground-mount, ground pole, or trackers. Wherever you want the solar array, we have a solution to meet your needs. Available for service in most of Northern California including Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Stockton, Modesto, Merced, Fresno, Turlock, Roseville, Folsom, Davis, Auburn, Grass Valley, Sonora, Groveland, Elk Grove, California.

Solar Power System Components
Solar Power System ComponentsThe Solar Company's solar electric systems consist of an array of solar panels or modules, and an inverter with a computerized solid-state controller. The solar electric panels generate DC electricity directly from sunlight. The inverter converts the DC electricity produced by the panels to AC electricity. The computerized controller also regulates the system and ensures peak performance. A standard system is designed to stop working the moment there is a power interruption. In applications where you are not connected to the grid or you want backup power, batteries are required. Available for service in most of Northern California including Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Stockton, Modesto, Merced, Fresno, Turlock, Roseville, Folsom, Davis, Auburn, Grass Valley, Sonora, Groveland, Elk Grove, California.

Solar System Costs
System CostThe Solar Company uses SunPower modules, the highest efficiency modules available. Total gross system cost will be between $8-10 per watt to install, including sales tax. The exact solar panel system cost will depend on the ease of the installation. A 3 kilowatt system that would power a typical California residence with good southern exposure will cost about $20,000 after all rebates and credits.Paying for Solar

What Size Solar System Do I Need?
What Size Solar System Do I Need?It depends on how much electricity you use. Two homes the exact same size will use different amounts of electricity and therefore require different size systems. Major electrical loads within a home are air conditioners, electric heaters, pools, and other heating elements or motors. That being said, an average 2,500 sq. ft. single-family home uses about 5,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. A 3 kilowatt (AC) system will generate nearly all the electricity required for such a home on an annual basis. The Solar Company's solar electric systems require approximately 65 sq. ft. of panel area to generate 1 kilowatt of electricity. The SunPower solar panels used in our power systems have a 40-year design life and come with a 25-year warranty.The actual amount of electricity produced is dependent on how much solar energy reaches your site. An optimally located array would face south and have nothing obstructing the sun's rays from reaching the solar panels. Actual system production can easily be calculated with a site analysis. Contact us for a free solar analysis.

California Solar Rebates and Tax Credits
Solar Rebates and Tax CreditsThe California Solar Initiative is currently offering a $1,900 per kilowatt cash rebate for solar power systems that are connected to the utility grid. This is not a tax credit; this is a cash rebate. The federal government also offers a thirty percent tax credit. Currently it is capped at $2,000 for the residential market but unrestricted for commercial. It is important to note that as a credit, and not a deduction, you will receive the 30% back on your federal taxes.

Solar Power Net Metering
Net MeteringMost utilities offer net metering, which effectively allows you to bank your energy until you need it, virtually eliminating your electric bill. Net metering lasts for a whole year, so you can build credit in the summer for those darker winter days. Net metering measures the difference between the electricity you buy from the utility and the electricity you generate with your solar electric system. When you are making more electricity than you are using, typically on summer days, your extra electricity automatically gets metered back (sold) to the utility grid. You receive credit for this power at the same rate that the utility sells it to you. Net metering allows you to use the electric utility grid like a bank account. You can put electricity into it that you don't use immediately and you can withdraw the same amount later on at no net cost to you.

Why Use Solar Power? California's Energy Future
California's Energy FutureTo meet California's growing demand for electricity, new power plants will need to be built. This will require huge investments by the utilities and the private sector, not only in plant construction costs, but also in new distribution and transmission lines to deliver that power. All of these costs will be passed onto YOU, the ratepayer.
Furthermore, all the new power plants coming "online" in California will be fueled with natural gas. According to the California Power Authority, "20 percent of our natural gas production disappears every year ... the average gas well is gone in nine years. In less than 10 years, we are going to run out of cheap [natural] gas."
According to Princeton University petroleum engineer Kenneth Deffeyes, in somewhere between two and six years, worldwide oil production will peak. After that, chronic [oil] shortages will become a way of life." (Fred Guterl — Newsweek magazine]

Why Use Solar Power? Solar Rebates and Tax Credits
Solar Rebates and Tax CreditsFederal and state government incentives make purchasing a solar electric system a smart buy for customers by providing rebates in the forms of tax breaks, property tax exemptions, and cash back. In many cases, it's what makes solar cheaper than your current electric bill.
