Getting Started

The first step to estimating and designing a solar system for your home or business is to access a years worth of electricity bills. The easiest way to do this (even if you keep electricity bills for your personal records) is to visit your utility's website and print information for the last year. If your utility provider is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, click here LADWP, to receive a step-by-step guide to printing bills. If your utility provider is Southern California Edison, click here SCE to receive a step-by-step guide to printing bills. If you are unsure who your utility provider is, you can type your zip code into the following website to find out: http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/utilities/index.html

We design each solar system based on the customer's annual electricity usage, their desired reduction in usage/price, and their overall budget. After receiving the usage history, we calculate the state and federal rebate incentives, as well as the material costs, and give you an estimated cost for installing the solar system. Once the contract is signed, we process all of the paperwork and permits, so all you have to do is sit back and wait for the savings.
