No doubt about it, the PV (photovoltaic) solar industry is here to stay. Whether you are genuinely concerned with climate change, or you are woefully tired of ever increasing power bills, installing a PV solar system will surely help you in either regard.
There are many reasons to invest in solar PV technology today. As mentioned above climate change and cost reduction for utility power bills are perhaps the most prevalent. A growing number of people are beginning to realize the potential for PV solar systems to not only reduce power bills but also reduce green house gas emissions. Some will attest that they feel very good about doing something for the planet. Some PV believers utilize it as a stand alone system with battery backup in remote locales where utility power is nonexistent, while others have needs for a system with battery backup (for use while the utility grid is down) and a utility inter-connection to sell power back to the utility. For most a standard grid tie system for selling power back to their utility is the priority. What ever your needs are you can be assured that QLR Electric will provide you with an optimum system.
Many variables apply to the formula by which we derive the solar system components. The foremost concern is usually the amount in dollar value that we wish to reduce the customers power bill by.
Another concern is the amount of battery backup capacity to build into the system, if batteries are to be used. A shading analysis must be done, along with a compass measurement to find the angle of the solar array to true south. Temperature also plays a role as does the latitude of your installation site.

The process for purchasing and installing a PV solar system starts with the customer hiring a qualified solar contractor to help them design an optimally efficient system to the extent that the customers see the anticipated reduction in their power bill for the least amount of investment. This is accomplished by skillfully applying the variables discussed in the previous paragraph.
Any prospective PV solar enthusiast living in California is encouraged to first visit the California Solar Initiative at www.gosolarcalifornia.org/csi/index.html to get better acquainted with this process. Here you will find many helpful links to subjects such as a list of California Solar Initiative Registered Installers. Also you will find a link for Eligible PV Equipment, as not all PV equipment is eligible under the CSI rebate program. Many solar contractors offer to fill out and submit the rebate program, and net energy metering paper work, and that is no exception at QLR Electric as we strive to provide a smooth and stress free installation experience for all.
The California Solar Initiative Rebate Program provides rebates that are sizable and the Federal Tax Credit Incentive is at 30% of the installed cost of the system. Together these incentives greatly help those pursuing a greener life with cheaper power bills. Creative financing and lease options are also available.
