It’s Solar Energy Month in California
Arnold Schwarzenegger, California governor, has declared that October is Solar Energy Month. There will be a variety of events in the state this month to promote solar energy. Southern California Edison (SCE) will be heading the celebration with several events that are geared specifically toward educating homeowners about how they can go solar. If you’d like to attend one of these events you can find the locations and dates at SCE.com.
As of now, SCE is on step 5 of the California Solar Initiative. This means that for every watt of solar capacity that you install, California will pay you $1.55. The program is in its fourth year and has reached almost half of the 1,750 MW goal. You can get more information on the CSI rebate program at ResidentialSolar101.
If you live in southern California and are a SCE customer you can take advantage of these generous rebates. The first step is to obtain some solar power quotes and determine whether it’s best for you to lease or buy. Residential101 has a free evaluation form that you can fill out to receive solar quotes. They will have qualified installers contact you and there’s no obligation to purchase.
