New Constructions or Remodel You might qualify for significant rebates through the New Solar Homes Partnership program . We will handle all of the paperwork for you but we will need a Title 24 Report as well as architectural plans and drawings. We will discuss this further by phone.
When paired with a solar system, 100 miles in an electric vehicle could cost as low as $3.30.
For Your Information, GoSimpleSolar does not install leased or Power Purchase Agreement solar PV systems. The savings are best when a homeowner or business owner owns their own power.

The design and size of your solar PV system matters to us as much as it matters to you. We spend the time with you to determine your financial goals and to ensure that the aesthetics of your system match your expectations. With proper diligence, it's almost always possible to hide conduits, move roof venting for a rectangular or square solar array design, and maximize the positive visual impact solar PV can have IF it's necessary to be visible at all.
We do the work right the first time so there will be no future costs. GoSimpleSolar is the one stop solar shop that mitigates all risks associated to your solar investment. This can only be achieved by using industry leading solar products and the most qualified, licensed, installers and designers.

An optimized solar system needs accurate monthly electricity consumption data in order to be modeled. We will collect that data now. If you have your past bills, you can find this info there. If you have a PGE.com account, login to your PG&E account and navigate to the My Usage tab for that info. Or give them a call at 1-800-743-5000 and ask them for your 12 month kilowatt hour data and your electric utility rate.
Below is a picture of a PG&E bill with the monthly kWh consumption and the electric rate circled in red:
With a PGE account, we will be able to determine exactly which hours of the day you consume electricity. This has an impact on the financial modeling. You will also be able to see how much electricity you are sending to the grid once you make the switch to solar. Here is a screen capture of solar energy going from a customer's home, back to the grid. The customer is receiving credits from PGE for generating this power. PGE is reselling this power to the customer's neighbors.
Monitoring Your Solar Array Monitoring the performance of your solar PV system can be accomplished in multiple ways. We can install a monitoring device that requires a good internet connection, or you can monitor performance via the inverter(s) display and PGE.com. PGE.com is a great way to see the balance between solar output and electric usage. Smartphone and online monitoring shows actual production of your solar PV system (as does the inverter display). To add smartphone and internet monitoring, expect an additional $450 cost.
