Free Energy

I was just paying my bills and thought I'd share one with you.



San Diego Gas & Electric was getting around $100 per month from us before we went solar. It was a real eye opener.

Our PV system is finished! Now we're waiting on our power company to inspect it so we can throw the switch. It's beautiful...and kind of sad. Here we are, a day away from the longest day of the year, PV panels perfectly situated to soak up the sun's energy...and we wait.

Here's the second most important part of the system, the inverter. The PV panels take the sun's energy and converts 22% of it (SunPower panels have great efficiency) into DC (direct current). It runs through this inverter and out comes AC (alternating current)...the stuff that powers our house. Now we sit and wait for inspection....

The day has finally arrived...we're having our solar installed! This was the first project that we started in November of last year. After trying to do a little research here and there on solar, I decided it would be best to find a turn-key service provider. Turn-key means that everything is prepared for you, all you have to do is sign your name (on applications and of course, the check!). We decided to try out Clean Power Systems after talking with a couple of solar providers in the area. I was very impressed after talking with Kirk Mulligan, CEO of Clean Power Systems. We have referred three clients so far!

Clean Power Systems is a company with a bright future (pardon the pun). Not a typical solar company, CPS is a clean energy company...currently that energy is solar photovoltaics. From the start, we have had friendly and open access to the company and have met some very smart people.

Stay tuned for updates on our solar system...we are very excited.

Can you tell what's wrong with this picture?

On a perfectly beautiful San Diego day, Noon. 72 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, yet two solitary bulbs burn, we jest of course but this is stupid. We've lived here for over a year and a half and these bulbs have been on 24/7. CFL's? No. LED's? No. Incandescent bulbs burning bright and hot on a San Diego day. Can you tell what's wrong with this picture? We just had to get this off our chest, we are outta here...on to Encinitas!
