"Revolutionary Advancements in Solar Panel Technology: Increased Efficiency, Reduced Cost, Improved Durability, and Attractive Design"


 Over the past decade, solar panel technology has made significant advancements in efficiency, cost, durability, and design. These improvements have made solar panels a more viable and appealing option for generating electricity.

One of the key ways in which solar panel technology has evolved is increased efficiency. Solar panels have become more efficient at converting sunlight into electricity, with some of the highest efficiency panels on the market today reaching almost 23% efficiency. In fact, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have even created a solar cell with a record-breaking 39.5% efficiency.

Another major improvement in solar panel technology over the past decade has been a reduction in cost. Solar panel prices have decreased significantly, making them more affordable for consumers. This has been achieved through advances in manufacturing processes and the use of cheaper materials.

How does Solar Energy Work?



Solar panels have also become more durable and reliable over the past decade. Many modern solar panels come with warranties of 25 years or more, and some have even been known to last for 40 years or more. In addition to increased durability, manufacturers have also begun to explore new materials and technologies that can improve the efficiency and performance of solar panels. For example, thin-film solar cells made from materials such as copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) or cadmium telluride (CdTe) are being experimented with by some companies.

Finally, solar panels have become more aesthetically pleasing, with many manufacturers offering panels that are designed to blend in with the roofs of houses. This has helped to make solar panels more appealing to homeowners.

Overall, the past decade has seen significant advancements in solar panel technology, making it a more efficient, cost-effective, durable, and visually appealing option for generating electricity.

How is the oil lobby impacting the development of solar power? How long would it be before 50% of the world's power demand is met by solar energy?

How is the oil lobby impacting the development of solar power? How long would it be before 50% of the world's power demand is met by solar energy?



The Oil Lobby and the Future of Solar Energy

Solar power has been making waves as a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, the oil lobby has historically had an impact on the development of solar power, as the increased use of solar energy could potentially threaten the profits of the oil industry.

Despite this, the cost of solar energy has decreased significantly in recent years, making it a more competitive and appealing option for electricity generation. So, how long will it be before solar energy meets 50% of the world's power demand?

Unfortunately, it's difficult to say. The adoption of solar energy will depend on a variety of factors, including the rate of solar panel installation, government policies, and technological advancements. Some estimates suggest that it could take several decades to reach this level of solar energy adoption. However, it's worth noting that the use of solar energy has been growing rapidly in recent years, and it's possible that it could make up a significant portion of the world's energy mix in the future.

If you're considering making the switch to solar energy for your home, now is the time to do it. Not only will you be helping to reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment, but you'll also be taking advantage of the cost savings and stability that solar energy can provide. With the price of solar energy decreasing significantly in recent years, there's no better time to make the switch. Take control of your energy usage and make the switch to solar today!

California's NEM 3.0







California's, new rules are to take place in April, 2023. 


The government of California has voted to do away with Net Metering. What does this mean for perspective home owners looking to invest in solar, and what does this mean for homeowners who have already made the investment in Solar power? 

First, what is Net Metering? 

What "net metering" means is that your relationship with the power company is an equal two way relationship. Meaning that if you have excess solar power available, not only can you use it to power your home directly, but you can also export your extra solar energy available. In other words, you can send that excess energy back out through your electric meter for full price credit. What happens is that your excess energy will flow out of your meter and the utility can sell it to one of your neighbors homes. In turn the electric company will give you full price credit for that energy. Having that full price credit is important because after the sun sets, during evening hours you're going to be pulling energy back in from the utility company. Assuming of course that you don't already have your own battery storage. So you'll want to use those credits that you've built up during day time ours. 

This is a full true 1 for 1 net metering credit. You send them a full credit, and they send you a full credit. It all balances out evenly. 

Now, Nem 3.0 means to move away from a net metering program to what's called an avoided cost program. So what that means is this. 

What is implied by Avoided Cost Program?

"Avoided Cost Program" are characterized as "the steady expenses for an electric utility of. electric energy or limit or both which, yet for the buy from the passing office or qualifying offices, such utility would create itself or buy from another source.

Let's say during daylight hours, your solar system is producing at full power and you have more electricity than what you need to power your home, the excess that you send back to the power company, instead of crediting you at the full retail price, which in parts of California is now around .30 cents per kilowatt hour. That's what they charge YOU, when their selling it to you. Well, their now going to pay you a much lower rate, of only .08 cents per kilowatt hour.  Their rational is, When they buy they buy wholesale power from the power plant, they are only paying that lower wholesale rate of around 6, to 7 cents a kilowatt hour. Then they sell it to the resell customer at .30 cents and they make the margin in-between. That's of course how they make their profit. 

And so the utilities commission has agreed with the utilities as said that if homeowners have excess energy, the power companies don't have to give homeowners that full credit. Now they can just pay you, the homeowner, that lower rate. Just like they would buy power from the power plants. 

So what this means is that, if your making an investment in rooftop solar for your home, this is going to cut  your return on investment. In some cases, it could cut it in half. 

Now, this is not the end of the world, but if you're just purely making your decision on whether or not to go solar based on financial projections that a solar salesperson told you or based on your own financial analysis, then the pay pack period for rooftop solar in California, your payback period can now double. This goes for a {Specifically if you're talking about just a straight net metering system with no batteries.) This could mean instead of, let's say a 4 year pay back, you'll be looking at around an 8 or 9 year pay back on your system. So there are serious implications here. 

Now, the new rules take effect starting in about 116 days. This means that if you want to take advantage of the current 1 for 1 net metering program that's still in effect right now. You have 116 days, (depending on when you read this,) to get a contract signed. So if you're still in the market to look at your options for solar power for your home. We must get the process started and have all documents signed before that time frame is up. 

For those who are already an existing homeowner who has solar energy and who is already leveraging the current net metering program. They don't have to worry these changes affecting them. Existing California net metering customers are grandfathered in for the next 20 years. 

For those who have not made the investment into solar yet, what this means is that you're really going to want to take a look at the battery storage option. What battery storage allows you to do is, instead of having to sell your excess solar to the power company at a significantly  discounted rate, you can just store your excess solar energy in a bank of batteries at your home, so that when the sun goes down and you don't have any solar being directly produced, you can then power your home of the battery using the stored energy in the battery from what you charged during the day time hours. So this still allows you to have full solar coverage of your home without relying on the power company to be the battery for you, or that without relying on them to give you full price credit for any excess solar energy that you can't use, or store yourself.

🚨 Action needed in California


Here's the recording of the emergency NEM 3 webinar we had at CALSSA.

We MUST come out in force on June 2 to San Francisco and Los Angeles to stop this bad proposal in its tracks. The CPUC is inviting feedback. Let's give it to them!


 A new NEM-3 proposal has been released by the California Public Utilities Commission. 😡

 
Here's the top 5 things you need to know and why it is critical we fight back and do it quickly.
  1. The new CPUC NEM 3 "proposal" includes $30-40/month fee + additional fixed charges per kW on residential and now potentially on commercial/ag projects.

  2. The fees are HIGHER if you have batteries and would apply to what your customers self-produce and self-consume. Yes – fees for making your own solar power that you use for residential and commercial.

  3. CPUC still wants to lower the value of solar kWh from the current retail rate minus a few charges to 5 cents per kWh.

  4. Still on the table: retroactive changes to your existing customers, other taxes, monthly netting, and more.

  5. Next steps: We MUST come out in force on June 2 and stop this bad proposal in its tracks. The CPUC is inviting feedback. Let's give it to them! Shut down your work, bring your whole team, and meet us in LA or SF to tell the CPUC and the Governor, once and for all, NO SOLAR TAX! RSVP Here. And then spread the word  to everyone you know.
 
California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) is organizing two simultaneous events on June 2, one in Los Angeles and one in San Francisco. The events are being held in conjunction with a meeting of the CPUC to create the largest ever submission of live public comments in CPUC history.
 
Our goal is to give the CPUC massive feedback on June 2 with two giant in-person rallies and public testimony events. To attract enough attention that our collective voice is heard by the governor so that he takes action to protect this important solar market, your business, your job, we need you and your colleagues to attend one of these rallies. RSVP today. Don't wait!
 
Thank you!

Imagine This...


  

 Imagine for a minute that Climate Change isn't real, or that it doesn't affect your life and so it doesn't matter. Or let's pretend for a minute that it's all propaganda that the media is hell-bent on forcing down your throat as some would suggest or have you believe.

Now what? Why should we switch to renewable energy resources such as Solar Energy for your home? Simple! It's cheaper, adds home value, has an end date, gives you predictability, and protects your roof if it's rooftop solar. Don't believe me? I invite you to come to see for yourself. All I need is your electric bill and about an hour of your time, depending on how many questions you have. My team will put together a dynamic proposal that will show you the true cost of both, switching to solar or staying with fossil fuels. Our approach is to educate homeowners. If it makes sense when help you get set up as seamlessly as possible so that you can continue with your current life projects while we take care of the rest.

What is Renewable Energy? Answer; energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. Not a commodity! 

Imagine this! 

You see an amazing proposal and everything looks like a great fit for you. Your Solar Array System is ready and turned on. A few days later, you receive a check for 36 months worth of payments for your system. Now, you'll not have to worry about making payments for the next three years. How could that help you financially right now and over the next three years? 




Now, for many of you, this could be a reality if you act fast. Our Earth Month Promotion ends April 30, 2022. With this promotion, you can get up to 36 months of your payments paid! 

I know, seems too good to be true right? lol You may be wondering, what’s the catch? There isn’t one. Just let me know you’re interested, sign a contract, and get 12 (18 or 36) months of Solar on us once you’re installed. 

Why are we offering this amazing promotion? It's simple, we believe that we can make a difference in the world and for the future of all humanity. We believe that you'll make the right decisions when this amazing technology is available and affordable to you. We know that times have been rough and we wholeheartedly believe this is the right way to go. We know that the information has been misrepresented and, or outdated. While the system that makes it all possible isn't free, the energy produced from it is. That puts the power in your hands as the owner. 

Allow me to introduce you to this amazing technology and show you the facts about it. All we need is your most recent electric bill and a little bit of your time. From there, You decide what's best for you, your family, and your home. 

How does it work?
