California Solar Panel Installation
California solar panel installations can be among the most efficient in the nation because of year-round sun, generous customer incentives and a healthy, competitive solar market. Real Goods Solar got its start here and we’re happy to be the oldest California solar installation company around. We provide some of California’s best solar energy financing options.
Renewable Energy in California
California has a long history of supporting renewable energy. Today, over 20% of the state’s electricity comes from renewable sources and thanks to the ambitious Renewables Portfolio Standard program, that number is required to rise to 33% by 2020. To help reach this goal, the state created the California Solar Initiative (CSI), a program that lets the three largest electrical utilities (PG&E, SDG&E and Southern California Edison) offer solar energy rebates and incentives to their customers.
