Go Solar Initiative


The New Solar Homes program is part of the California Solar Initiative.  It is a set of incentives to help promote installing PV systems on new homes built in CA.  I say it's about time.  A tract of new homes in the ideal place to use solar power.  It's relatively easy to install while they are being built and the infrastructure to handle the power generated (i.e. grid) can be added as they put in the power lines.

It is a great way for a developer to differentiate themselves in this competitive market.  They'll probably get a higher price for the homes too!  Most important it's a chance to do something right for the environment, something they should brag about.

I applaud California for leading they way in this effort.
