Your Solar vs. Winter Weather
If you thought our weather this year has been unusual, Solar Family, you’re absolutely right—and “unusual” might be an understatement. Between higher rainfall, milder temperatures, and even unprecedented snow in our area, we’ve seen weather records breaking all over. And your solar system might have seen a slight decrease in production because of it. Rest assured, your solar will still work—even under stormy skies. Just remember these key tips for getting the most out of your system in the winter: Conserve power by turning off lights when you’re not actively using them. Run appliances during the day to avoid evening [...]
What You Need to Know About Your True-Up Bill
You know the old saying knowledge is power, Solar Family? It’s never been truer than when it comes to your annual true-up bill. But understanding what it is (and how to read it) can be a bit puzzling—especially if you’re new to the world of solar energy. A true-up bill is an annual statement that you'll receive from PG&E once a year on the anniversary of your PTO. For each month, PG&E tracks how much electricity you used from the grid—and sent back to the grid—and totals it up at the end of the year. This summary appears on your true-up bill. Depending on how you [...]

SWITCHING FROM GAS TO ELECTRIC APPLIANCES
Thinking about a home improvement project this summer? Do those plans include updating your appliances from gas to electric? Many homes in California still rely on natural gas to run furnaces and heat pumps, ovens and ranges, water heaters, clothes dryers, and more. But it’s not always the cleanest or most efficient way to go. In fact, your furnace and water heater alone may account for two-thirds of your home’s energy use! Instead of paying that gas bill, switch to electric appliances that can use renewable energy from solar. Here are some more benefits to replacing your gas appliances: Eliminate leaks and [...]
3 Ways a Battery Backup Can Save You Money
Do More with Your Solar Solar power can be a great way to save money, support the environment, and keep your home running during a grid outage.

Depending on your specific needs, here are three ways having a battery backup could improve your energy savings: Provide power during an outage. If you live in an area that has numerous outages or rolling blackouts, a common setting is to have your battery fully charged (100%) in case of emergencies.

Your Summer Solar Checklist
Our good ol’ California sunshine has returned to the state. That means your solar panels should be working at peak production… provided everything is functioning as it should. To make sure you’re ready for the upcoming season, here are three ways to ensure you get optimal performance out of your solar system: Regularly check your monitoring. Log into your monitoring platform to ensure your system is producing and no alerts or errors are present. Check the status of your inverter, if possible. Each inverter is different. Depending on your specific system, you may have a display screen or indicator light that shows if your system [...]
