California leads the country in solar installation for good reason. With over 3000 hours of sunshine annually, California is an ideal location for installing solar photovoltaic panels and solar heating systems.

Solar power in California includes local distributed generation (primarily from rooftop photovoltaics) as well as utility scale solar power plants. The Renewable Portfolio Standard in California requires one-third of the state’s electricity by 2020 to come from renewable sources. Much of this will come from concentrated solar power facilities and PV facilities.

In 2019, the SEIA reported that California had 27,400 MW of solar installed capacity, comprising 20 percent of the total electricity generated in the state. At present, California ranks as the foremost solar power generating state in the country, generating enough solar capacity to power nearly 8 million homes. Over the next five years, the state is expected to add another 16,000 MW of solar capacity (but the lockdown and virus situation on top of public unrest will have an economic effect on the largest west coast state).

Moreover, California also has great rebates and incentives for homeowners and businesses that install solar like the California Solar Initiative. These and other popular programs are available to California residents who install solar power systems. To find out more, talk to one of the many California solar installers in our network today. We have solar installation professionals servicing San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, Glendale, San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, Sacramento and just about everywhere else in California.

If you are thinking of going green, this is the perfect time in terms of the maturity of the technology, the price, the local conditions, and the state incentives. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you research your options.

Local vs. Out-of-Town Installers

Relevant local knowledge is essential when installing solar systems. This covers tax incentives and credits on local, state, and federal levels, permit processes, building codes, and other local regulations. The installer also needs to be familiar with the net energy metering program (NEM) of your local utility.

Warranty support is crucial for your system post-installation. Your distance from the installer can have an impact on consistent support. You need clear answers regarding these matters before choosing an installer.
