Come to the sunny side!
Go Green!
Those who are putting solar systems on their homes, businesses or other buildings are making a difference. The highest level of electricity usage in California is during our hot, dry summers. Air-conditioners are one of the largest users of energy. So, powering our air-conditioners and other electrical needs with our abundant sunshine makes sense! Photovoltaic (PV) power systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. A residential PV power system enables a homeowner to generate some or all of their daily electrical energy demand on their own roof, exchanging daytime excess power for future energy needs (i.e. nighttime usage). The house remains connected to the electric utility at all times, so only if additional power is needed will it be drawn from the utilities!
How GREEN can you go?
A typical 5 kilowatt (kw) residential rooftop Solar electric produces about 9,000 kw hours per year. This is the electricity usage for an average LA home. By substituting sun power for fossil fuels, this system avoids the need to make electricity by burning 9.25 tons of coal. In turn, approximately 25,000 lbs. of global warming greenhouse gases do not enter the atmosphere.
This is equivalent to:
Planting 82,000 ft.² of trees! or
Driving a vehicle for 29,000 miles!
