The State of Solar Energy 2017

When solar was first announced, many were skeptical of its benefits initially because it was obvious that the technology was still new. While other general contractors viewed solar roofing as a novelty that needed to prove itself, David Partiel saw an opportunity.

Solar as a renewable energy source was inevitable and those who learned the benefits of solar early on, benefited the most in both profitability and attracting new clients.

Now that California has set a 2020 mandate to have 33% of the state’s energy come from solar, Apple has signed an $850 million dollar deal for a massive solar farm to help generate renewable energy. On a residential level, homeowner projected savings in California over the next twenty years are set to hit 38 million dollars.

How Early Adopters Saved With Solar

California tends to be at the forefront of progressive change and most newly drafted environmental legislation is introduced here in our great state.

The goal was to get solar to be a residential reality. California accomplishes this goal in the same way it usually accomplishes similar environmental legislation; through state backed rebate programs. Upfront costs deter homeowners and with a hefty chunk of the costs paid by the state, it makes sense to choose solar as your alternative energy source.

With the recent changes to the Solar Plan NEM 1.0 to 2.0, David Partiel predicts a flood of new homeowners joining the race for solar to reduce energy costs and help California.

NEM 2.0 is a TOU plan (time of use). It’s the first time solar has been a benefit for full-time employed homeowners. On this new plan, when homeowners are at work, solar panels generate energy at peak value. When it is time to reuse the energy, homeowners with the help of the solar battery pack can resell the energy at a higher value back to utility company in their neighborhoods or use the energy themselves. The difference in costs can yield a net profit for some homeowners, depending on how much solar energy they generate.

The projected 20 year savings for homeowners is already set to $38,387. Homeowners can lower energy costs, add value to their homes, and help our state save energy.

The Value of Solar’s Legacy

Sheer monetary value only matters so much. It’s easy to know that installing solar panels onto a roof will increase a home’s value, but true value comes from making the right decision at the right time, and being a part of something bigger.

Businesses such as Apple, Walmart, Kohls, Costco, are ran by individuals unafraid to make decisions that are long term. They can see ahead, pasted the immediate costs that it takes to invest, and benefit in the future. Many homeowners don’t have that foresight. David Partiel educates homeowners on how solar can benefit them and how to fund your solar panel project with affordable state ran programs.

Why Early Adopters Benefited

The honest truth is that those who were early adopters of solar saved so much more because they took advantage of the movement where rebates were plentiful. Solar rebate programs have set funding and often do not get renewed by state officials.

Homeowners fear the idea of making the wrong decision and being early adopters of solar, but the true fear should be in making the decision not consider it at all. The perfect opportunity often comes to those that risk the most.

Second Chance For Solar

When the opportunity leaves, there’s rarely a second opportunity that comes around.

With solar, that opportunity has returned in the form of NEM 2.0 - a solar plan that shares some of the same characteristics as the first solar initiative which saved homeowners thousands.

Whether it is in business or personal life, taking action or being afraid can reveal who a person truly is. Do they instigate change, or wait for someone else to take the first step? Let David Partiel show you the benefits of solar and how NEM 2.0 can benefit you. It is the right move for local homeowners in Southern California.
