This Friday I am getting solar panels installed on the roof of my home. I am rather excited about this as it makes me feel good to know I am using natural resources to generate my own power. It’s also going to save me a lot of money! A random guy, who I now know to be named Chris, came to my door a few months ago and asked me if I would be interested in lowering my electricity bill. Well, as it is just me in my home, I have never qualified in the past as my bill is never high enough. But he shared that there is a new state program and that they have partnered up with SCE to get solar onto as many roofs as possible. I am paying a flat fee every month for the electricity and do not have to buy or lease the panels. They monitor everything and take care of the installation, permits…everything. If a panel starts being silly, they will know and will come out and fix it. I just reap the benefits of banking the power in the cooler months so I can enjoy my AC more in the hotter months. Seems like a win win situation to me! They up the power to their grid and my bill is consistent and I will never exceed my allotment!
