    Call or visit the California Center for Sustainable Energy. Here's a link:

    https://energycenter.org/

    They have a wealth of information on solar and many other sources of alternate energy, and energy saving methods. They can even help you with finding a company to do the work. There are still ...»

    incentives to help you financially, but they decrease with the number of units installed. Then call at least three (I normally call four) companies that specialize in solar installations. The estimating process will also provide you with information that will help you decide what to do.

    You have many choices for Solar, solar shingles, solar panels, solar water heaters etc. If you are looking for vendors, please see this discussion below.

    passive solar home design is something to look into as well...well designed passive solar construction can often save 40-60% right from the start.

    Consider solar thermal first. It's cheaper and simpler to repair than solar PV electric. Here is an article I wrote about solar thermal:

    It will work if you cut and paste the whole URL into your browser. Sorry, for some reason the hyphen at the end of the URL is not live and so the link looks broken, but the page does exist.
