The install crew headed up by Jim was excellent. I chose SunSolar because they fit the criteria of being local ( Petaluma ) & been in business long enough ( 12 years + ). The crew was very efficient, communicative and respectful. I will use them again on my next solar project .

What are the Financial Benefits of Solar Energy?
Solar has a multiplicity of ways it can provide financial benefits. For the end user, even Leasing, or Power Purchase Agreements, as means of choosing the Solar option to Utility generation will reduce energy bills. The ideal model of Solar acquisition, in general, is gained through purchase.
Multiple benefits can then apply to the home or business owner who invests in the ownership of their Solar powered energy generation. These include increased property value; eligibility for a significant FED Investment Tax Credit; and, the largest long-term savings, vs. Utility and/or Leasing/PPA costs, comes with ownership.
What are the Environmental Benefits of Solar Energy?
Solar Energy provides benefit to both local and global environment by reducing CO2 emissions in several ways.
First, by powering a home or business with Solar directly, a significant annual reduction of demand on a Utility Company’s coal, oil, and/or gas-fired turbines occurs. This in turn reduces mining, drilling, and transportation loads in the energy grid infrastructure.
Secondly, with a Grid-Tied Solar System that is properly sized, a dedicated breaker is added to the Electric Panel. That breaker allows the excess electric generation during auspiciously sunny days to send “clean”, sun-made electricity to the Grid mix. This increases the percentage of renewable source energy being distributed by the Utility Co. to all in its territory.
A comparative example of Solar’s 25 year Environmental contribution: an average home converting to solar will add to atmospheric health over the next 25 years that is equivalent to planting 5,000 trees!
What is “Net Metering”?
The Net Energy Metering Agreement (NEMA) is, in effect, the Solar System Owner’s license and contractual terms to sell back excess electrical generation to the Utility Grid manager and provider(s), for credit. It evolved from efforts to provide fair compensation to the private investors in Grid-tied Renewable Energy. Home and business owners installing wind and solar not only help themselves financially, they help Utility companies achieve their mandatory minimal levels of Renewable Energy provided On-Grid.

Do Solar Panels still work in a black-out?
The panels themselves are still able to generate electricity as long as the sun is shining-however, one of the safety factors an Inspector must confirm before an approved “Final” on a solar installation is assurance of “Rapid Shut Down”. This stops the transmission of electricity from your system as a vital safety factor for Utility crews working on down lines.
What are my solar financing options?
For ownership acquisition-which entitles the purchaser the FED ITC, increased property value, control of the NEMA, as well as Product Warranties, eligible for transfer upon property sale-a number of financing options are available. Many banks, Finance companies, and Credit Unions offer unsecured Solar Loans, at fixed rates, ranging from 5-20 years. Another option to explore is a HELOC (Home Equity Loan).
