Edison Electric Rates to Increase by 43%

Electric Rates are already starting to skyrocket!



Hurry up and Lock in your Rate, by going Solar!!


What if you could have locked in your gasoline rate 10 years ago?
That means you would still be paying $1/gallon instead of $3, and soon to be as much as $6 in the next 5 years.

By going solar, you can lock in your electric rate now, and avoid rate increases.

What are the benefits of going solar???

  1. Cost of energy is increasing - Utility rates are only going to go up. With solar, you can lock in your rate for the rest of your life!
  2. Incentives to use solar power – federal tax credit and rebates
  3. If you have an electric car, your electric bill will go up. If you have solar, you can charge your car, therefore eliminating your electric and gas bill from your life. Electric cars are starting to become more and more popular and soon will become the norm.
  4. Return of investment - As you save money on your electric bill, this will start to pay back your initial investment.
  5. Get paid for what you overproduce. In January 2011, you will be able to receive a check for the electricity you overproduce. (Basically selling your electricity to your neighbors).
  6. Time of use - This ties in to getting paid for the electricity you overproduce - In January 2011, residential time of use will be available. This is where certain watts are charged more or less based on the time of day (non-peak hours and peak hours). So, if you are someone who is not home all day, your panels will be producing the most expensive watts during peak hours, which you will get more money for.
Plus, you will also be doing something good for the environment.

  1. Solar power is renewable and sustainable and clean
  2. Lessens our dependence on foreign oil
  3. Provides security for our kids and future generations
  4. Offsets our carbon footprint

It is easy to see that with all of these advantages, going solar is a no-brainer! In today's society, it is rare to find a product that really ensures a win-win situation. Solar is a virtually flawless product, a proven technology using our oldest form of energy, the Sun. In the next 5-10 years, especially as electricity increases, solar will become a standard household addition. It is maintenance free, with no moving parts, and it adds value to your home.

Even more:

As solar becomes more and more popular, more and more financing and leasing programs are becoming available, to make solar more affordable for everyone.

Self-Cleaning Technology from Mars Can Keep Terrestrial Solar Panels Dust Free

When installing solar panels, the only maintenance required is cleaning them about once a year or so. It is important that the panels are clean because they work better this way. For residential systems, this process is fairly easy, you can either do it yourself, although it is not recommended, or hire a professional to do it. However, for bigger size systems, which stretch as much as 50 football fields, this task can be pretty daunting. Well, scientists have figured out a way to solve this problem with self-dusting solar panels.

Solar Energy Combats Hunger for Electricity Around the World

Solar Power Brings Light to Quake-Darkened Haiti


In the United States, most people install solar to either save money, do something good for the environment, or both. But, in many parts of the world, especially in developing and third world countries, people are not as fortunate to have easy access to electricity, so, many people just do not have it. But solar energy is combating this problem, so that people all around the world can have access to electricity, from the oldest source of power, the sun.

Glendale Water & Power (GWP) suspends incentives until July 2011

Glendale Water & Power has suspended their funds/incentives for solar projects until July 2011 due to having limited funds and being understaffed.

Glendale has one of the highest rebates in Los Angeles, at $3.46/watt. Any applications that were submitted before this decision will still be honored, any submitted after will not be approved.

This just shows how fast the incentives are running out! Now is the time to invest in Solar!
