Residential

We can design and install a solar electric system that will reduce or eliminate your electric bill for many, many years. Converting to solar electricity has many benefits, including:
• Insulate yourself from rising electric rates for the next 25 years.
• Increase the value of your home.
• Combat global warming and help keep San Diego green.


Incentives and Rebates today are higher than they will be going forward as utility companies reach their RPS thresholds.
•CA CSI Incentives for the SDG&E area are currently at $1.55 watt for commercial and residential installs.
•30% Federal Tax Credit or cash grant per ARRA of 2009. AMT tax is not included in calculation.
• Impressive Return on Investment and Energy Savings.

Based on the financial examples shown below, converting to solar electricity today is a wise decision.
