Why Go Solar?

Solar Electric is reliable, safe, clean, quiet, and profitable.

The sun generates enough clean energy in one day to provide a year's supply of energy for your home or office. Why not tap into this abundant resource of clean energy? PV preserves the earth's finite fossil-fuel resources — coal, oil, natural gas — and reduces air and noise pollution associated with these energy sources.

Reliable Power

Solar is the number one choice where power reliability is a concern. The first systems built and designed in the 1950's are not only still functional but produce significant power even now!  A solar electric system is completely automatic; it has no moving parts, and is virtually maintenance free, and with a supplemental inverter and battery storage your system can keep your lights on in the event of an emergency or a blackout.

Safe for the Environment

Few power-generation technologies have as little impact on the environment as photovoltaics. As it quietly generates electricity from light, PV produces no air pollution or hazardous waste. It doesn't require liquid or gaseous fuels to be transported or combusted. And because its energy source - sunlight - is free and abundant, PV systems can guarantee access to electric power.

Lock In Your Electric Rates Now For The Future
    
Protect yourself from future utility rate increases and significantly reduce your monthly utility costs indefinitely. A solar system installed today will produce electricity at a cost of less than 9 cents per kWh over the system's 30+ year expected life. Currently, Utilities charge 13 cents per kWh or more, how high will those rates be in the next 5, 10, or 20 years?

Profitable Rebates and Incentives

There has never been a better time to go solar in California!

The California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has created the largest solar program of its kind in any state in the country - the California Solar Initiative, a 10-year, $2.9 billion program designed to help California move toward a cleaner energy future and help bring the costs of solar electricity down for California consumers. That means YOU!
