Considering installing solar panels on your San Jose home or business? Solar panels are proven to shrink your utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Additionally, solar panels are a cost-effective investment that provides a reliable hedge against continuously rising energy rates. California leads the way in solar power for many reasons, including its sunny climate, ideal for solar energy production. There are nearly 800 solar panel plants in the state, and more than 15% of California’s electricity is generated by solar panels located within these facilities and installed on private homes and businesses. With the sun shining brightly over San Jose for an average of 257 days every year, your location is ideal for solar power generation.

There are many ways to reduce the cost of and generate revenue from your solar panels. The federal investment tax credits for solar can be coupled with state and local incentives, including the ability to sell unused power back to the utility company (Net Energy Metering), which will significantly reduce the cost of installing solar panels on your home or business. And if you are building a new home in San Jose, California has put into place new energy-efficiency standards that require solar systems for virtually all new homes built in the state.

Solar batteries are an essential investment for homeowners and businesses in California. When the clouds blow over the horizon or the sun sets for the evening, solar backup batteries ensure you have the power you need to keep your appliances, lights, and modern comforts operational until morning without relying on a gas-powered generator.
Solar backup batteries store surplus energy generated during the day. When the sun or power grid can’t deliver the energy you need, the batteries take up the slack. This, combined with their extensive warranties, makes them a wise investment in energy security.
