3 Ways to Go Green with Your Home Renovation

If you’re able to do a major home renovation, installing a new solar panel system is one of the best ways to go green. This is because solar energy is clean, green, and renewable.

How to Calculate Your Peak Sun Hours

By determining peak sun hours, homeowners are better able to make informed decisions on purchasing solar panels. Within the continental United States, most homeowners can expect to receive between 3 and 5 peak sun hours.

Demystifying Solar Batteries

When Southern California homeowners install solar panels on their homes, they do so to dramatically reduce their electricity bills. The potential to generate a separate income from the energy produced and stored in the solar battery backup system is also extremely appealing.

Take Advantage of the Solar Tax Credit

This is the perfect year for you to take advantage of the 26% solar tax credit. Southern California homeowners will be able to take advantage of the federal investment tax credit with solar systems installed in their homes.

Solar Panel Maintenance

“Don’t solar panels need a lot of maintenance?”

SunPro Solar gets this question from homeowners regularly, and it’s understandable given that no one wants to worry about climbing up on a roof to care for their solar panels.

Why Do You Need An Energy Audit?

An energy audit can help tell you where you waste energy. If you find your electricity bills are consistently high, and not just through the holidays, you could be missing opportunities to lower your energy consumption and your energy bill.

Solar In California And The Reasons Not Everyone Has It

Solar panel systems deliver homeowners significant savings over non-solar systems—typically several hundred dollars during the hottest months of the year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

What SCE’s TOU Rate Change Means for You

Currently, most residential SCE customers are on a tiered rate plan that determines the rate customers are charged per kilowatt-hour based on the total amount of energy consumed each month.

However, the TOU rate system is based on when energy is used, not how much. All three of California’s major investor-owned utilities—SCE, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E)—have been directed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to transition their customers into this new plan by the end of 2020.

Top Reasons to Install Solar in California in 2020

If you install solar in 2020, you’ll still be able to enjoy the 26% federal tax credit prior to the government’s phase-out plan. You might as well take advantage of the benefits afforded by the federal tax credits before it reduces significantly over the next few years and disappears completely in 2 years.
