The Summer Solstice is coming!

On Saturday, June 20th 2020, the longest day of the year will occur! You know what that means... Most energy production!!! In order to ensure that your panels will be at their prime production state, we recommend you clean your array, make sure everything is working the way it should be, and keep up with our monitoring program!

If you need any help with your system, whether you're a customer or not, please contact us! We would be more than happy to assist you!

How often and how do I clean my array ?

I compiled some tips for cleaning your array yourself,

like how to take the deposits out of the water, and how to wash your panels. Check out all the details here:

SDG&E and Rosetta Stone
You can now monitor you solar system's production in comparison to SDG&E!

I think it is fair to say around 90% of my customers ask if it is possible to monitor solar production against SDG&E (reported) energy supplied against home demand, either before or after installation.

After researching products, I finally decided on the SENSE monitoring device. I didn’t believe it at first, as it was one of those “too good to be true devices”.

There is a 10% discount if we can get 5 or more orders!

The system comes with an app! (iOS only) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sense-home-energy-monitor/id1024626982

Good news: The days are getting longer again, so your solar production is going up!
Winter solstice was December 21st, and we look forward to the longer days until the Summer solstice on June 21st (when we will be at the highest output).
It is only until you have had a full year of production that you truly see the benefit of solar electricity.
Just remember my analogy of it being a piggy bank of energy over a 12 months period. You put energy in and take energy out, then at the end of the 12 months you see what is left, at which point you settle up with SDG&E.

To improve my support for my customers, I have introduced the annual technical Support plan.

This is entirely optional as you already have the system monitoring option from SolarEdge, so you can monitor your own systems and resolve with Solaredge directly (1-510-498-3200).

Going forward I will have to charge for email/phone/on site support if you are not participating in the plan, with over 80 sites to support now it is not manageable currently.

The fee is $150 per year January to December, or $600 for 5 years if you do not want to renew every year.
Basically I am offering:

1. weekly system level monitoring of your system

2. reporting of any issues that need attention

3. online and phone support working with SolarEdge tech support to resolve any issues and arrange warranty replacements if required.

4. internet connection to the monitoring site problems and resolution working with you (around 95% of the problems so far)

5. unlimited phone/email support

6. if on site support is required I offer a reduced rate of $65 per hour, 1 hour minimum. Regular cost will be $85 per hour from Jan 1st.

7 this service is work in progress to develop the plan to give the best service, so if you have any feedback please feel free to contact me

Just wanted to share some important information.

SDGE have turned off the power in several areas to avoid the risk of fire with the high winds bringing down power lines.

I have had several calls from my customers and solar systems have to shut down within 0.3 seconds by law to avoid killing SDGE workers repairing power lines as solar back feeds the grid. It is called anti islanding UL 1741. This means it puts power back into the grid otherwise.

If you have any friends in the affected area please reach out to them to see if they need help like freezers or even a simple shower..

If you are affected please keep your refrigerator door closed etc. Harbor Freight have some awesome $6 LED camping lights that light the enture room for example. I have a generator that needs a quick fix (I have the part) first come first served to borrow it.

You can add battery back up systems now and there is a grant for the batteries so please reach out to me for help.

Just done what everyone with solar should do and got an electric car!
Saving $30/month and got an a new car.
I was spending $230 a month on gas, and the lease on my gorgeous new Volt is $199! 15k miles a year too..
But the main point is of course we arw reducing our carbon footprint and doing even more for the environment 🤔🤓🤓🤓

Just had another 1 week turn around on a system in Alpine.
It was an awesome project with an integral EV charger as the customer wants to get a Tesla in the near future.
The benefit of the integral EV charger is that it can charge a lot faster than conventional stand alone EV chargers as it has a solar boost. Essentially using regular 240V from the gris plus power from the solar directly.
It is also cheaper than a conventional stand alone.

Designing a system at the moment that bas 2 battery back ups pljs EV charging combined.
