Installing Photovoltaic Solar Power at Home

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:51:16 +0000

This vid shows the various steps in planning and having a company (Real Goods Carlson: http://www.realgoodssolar.com/campaigns/current/affiliate/?a_aid=blimylimey&a_bid=fbb2295d) install photovoltaic solar electric power in my rear yard in San Diego; definitely more challenging than a roof installation. My rationale for this: reduce my carbon footprint, buy / own my energy (like I do my house), help address CA’s energy shortfall and take advantage of the state and US government incentives for early adopters to save on the installation.

I just uploaded it to Repower America:

Where can i get information about putting solar panels on my house?

admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 23:22:38 +0000

I’m interested in putting solar panels on the roof of my house, but I’m not sure where to start. I would like to get some information on pricing, installation, how much energy can be generated and stored, and how much the potential savings would be. I live in the SE Michigan/NW Ohio area, and there are a couple of solar manufacturers in the area, so I would think that there should be someone local who could help.

I would recommend the company I used when I decided to pursue solar energy. If you visit their site @ http://www.globalsolarcenter.com/ they will provide you with a free solar quote, a feasibility analysis, a break-even analysis, what system size you can place on your roof, projected annual savings, return on investment and a breakdown of all the incentives you will be eligible to receive. I’m not sure how good the incentives are in your area so the installation can end up being very pricey, but either way, GSC will give you all the info you need to make a smart decision. If you do like the numbers they provide you may then request a free on-site evaluation. Good Luck!
