3. Energy-Related Legislation California Leads the Way on Renewable Energy As usual, California has set the standard with the country’s most progressive renewable energy targets, backed by state-mandated legislation. By 2045, California is required to obtain all electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydropower. Enacting part of this new legislation begins in 2020, with new requirements for solar-powered homes. Initial costs are expected to be offset by significantly reduced electric bills. Leading-up to 100% renewable power will take place in three phases: the state must meet 50% renewable electricity by 2026; by 2030, power must come from 60% renewable sources. The final 40% can come from “carbon-free” sources such as from hydrodams, nuclear and natural gas. So, what does this mean for you? • All new homes must be built for solar power, starting in 2020. • By 2045, California is to be 100% carbon-neutral for electricity sources. This means electricity musn’t come from fossil fuels, with the exception of natural gas. Though, natural gas is to be phased-out over time. • Energy storage will be beneficial, as California enforces a new power rate structure that charges customers based on the time of day that power is being used. Avoid higher charges with a solar battery to store green power. • Home builders must fulfill one of the two options available when constructing new homes: • Build new homes with solar panels for individual domiciles (rooftop panels will be rolled into the price of the home or leased monthly). • Provide a solar-power system shared by a group of homes.

4. Harvest the Sun for Your Energy Needs and Save! The average California family will save nearly $30,000 over 20 years by using solar energy.

5. THE FUTURE OF ENERGY Microgrid = Solar + Energy Storage Battery A microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently or in conjunction with the area’s main electrical grid. Microgrids operate by collecting energy and storing it in a solar battery ready for use at any time. Solar Earth Choice offers the very best in solar battery storage solutions. By creating an all inclusive solution to your energy needs, Solar Earth Choice can save you money. Our solar battery storage option collects the energy by the system’s solar panels during daylight or from the grid during periods when power rates are down, and stores that energy in a battery system. Solar Earth Choice can run your home at night, during a blackout, or in a time of crisis when regular power is unavailable.

8. COMMERCIAL SOLAR INSTALLATION The Commercial Solar Installation Difference Commercial solar installation is a very exact process that must be treated with care and precision. With a wide variety of objectives, understanding your goal is critical before starting the process. Objectives for commercial solar installation can include helping offset energy requirements to a for-profit commercial solar farm. No matter what your needs or goals are, there are ways to address them.

9. What Are Solar Cells? Solar cells are small, square-shaped semiconductors made from silicon and other conductive materials. They are manufactured in thin film layers. When sunlight strikes a solar cell, chemical reactions release electrons, generating electric current. Also called a photovoltaic cell, a solar cell converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.

10. How Does a Solar Cell Work? Solar panels work by allowing particles of light to knock electrons free from atoms, generating the flow of electricity. Solar panels contain smaller units called photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic simply means they convert sunlight into electricity. What is the Principle of a Solar Cell? The principle of a solar cell is the silicon solar cell. Nearly 85 percent of all solar cells are made of silicon. A silicon atom has four outer electrons, which can form bonds with other silicon atoms to form a crystal. Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun’s rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. This electricity can be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business. What is the Advantage of Solar Cells? Renewable energy. The energy can be used to generate electricity and heat in your house or business. Renewable energy is recovered from the sun, the wind and waves. In this case, the sun. A solar cell will harness the energy from the sun and transform this into usable electricity. Why are Solar Cells Important? Solar is a safe energy alternative. It can replace fossil fuels like coal and gas, which produce air, water and land pollution. Use of solar energy will eliminate the need for conventional fossil fuels.

11. You could install a photovoltaic (PV) system or solar panels yourself. However, to avoid complications or injury, you will most likely want to hire a reputable solar contractor with experience installing solar panel systems. While they are sophisticated electric systems, PV systems have few moving parts, so they require little maintenance. Many people ask, “how long do solar panels last?” when thinking about installing a solar system. It’s a very good question to ask. People are pleasantly surprised to hear that solar panels have a long lifespan and minimal maintenance costs. How Long Do Solar Panels Last? Solar technology is relatively new and we’re still learning about the limits of a solar panel’s lifespan. That’s because some of the earliest panels still haven’t maxed out. We know about several customers that installed solar systems about 20 years ago and they are still producing! And those are some of the earliest solar panels that were produced!

12. How Durable Are Solar Panels? The solar cells inside a solar panel, the parts that are responsible for creating electricity from sunlight, are very fragile. That’s why there are multiple protective layers over the solar cells, including the top layer of high-impact glass. These protective layers are all put to the test to meet international standards. Many companies test their panels to go above and beyond for added durability.
