California could hit solar grid parity by 2015

California is one of the states leading the charge to embrace residential solar energy.

The California solar tax rebates are disgned to allow residents of California to install residential solar systems at extremely lows costs. A Many of these programs even allow consumer to receive a complete residential solar system for absolutely no money out of pocket.

The California Go Solar Campaign is the foundation of the push to have Californians embrace all of the benfits of solar technology by providing cash back for anyone in California that decides to install a solar system in their home.

The Go Solar California! campaign is a joint hard work of the California Energy Commission & the California Public Utilities Commission. The objective is to encourage Californians to put in 3,000 megawatts of solar energy systems on homes & businesses by the finish of 2016, making renewable energy an everyday reality. The program also has a objective to put in 585 million therms of gas-displacing solar hot water systems by the finish of 2017.

The Go Solar California web-site provides California consumers a “one-stop shop” for information on solar programs, rebates, tax credits, & information on installing & interconnecting solar electric & solar thermal systems. The site has information on program rules, including eligible equipment & standards, as well as information on how to find an eligible, licensed solar contractor.
