| Solar is easier to get than ever The energy revolution is here to stay - solar is easier to get than ever. With the reduction in solar panel prices and California's commitment to clean energy, solar easy-accessibility and affordability is a reality. On April 12, 2011 the California Renewable Energy Resources Act was written into law, creating a requirement for all of California's utilities that 33 percent of the electricity they sell must come from renewable sources by the year 2020. This wide-scale state support with a huge reduction in the cost of solar, is inspiring an unprecedented growth in the industry. CEGA, a consulting and engineering firm out of Los Angeles, California, is perfectly positioned to deliver on California's need for solar. From Beverly Hills to San Diego, CEGA Affiliates are fitting out rooftops with sleek, cost-efficient solar panels reducing the cost of electric bills for home and business owners alike. A few days ago a completed residential project in its final stages of inspection was announced in La Quinta, California. CEGA affiliate Solar Solutions equipped the residence with an 8.3 KW system consisting of 34 Samsung photo-voltaic (PV) panels, yielding 244 watts each. The blueprints and design were created by CEGA, and in a matter of days the system was installed by Solar Solutions. As California continues to increase incentives and other measures to expand the breadth of clean energy, more and more residents are realizing the change and reaping the benefits. With a network of installation companies across the state, 250 projects and 85 million dollars worth of projects in the pipeline, CEGA is sweeping Southern California with solar power, making CEGA a frontrunner in the state's clean energy goal. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
