We specialize in tuning your home’s energy usage to lower your household expenses and maximize your return on every dollar spent on improvements. Resulting in increased value and most importantly increased cash flow.

A recent study conducted by the California Center for Sustainable Energy and the City of San Diego’s Clean Generation program concluded that the best financial return on energy improvements were the result of combining Energy Efficiency improvements with Solar Photovoltaic.

Here is a summarization of the findings:

Energy Efficiency only: Total Net Investment $16,505
After performing an energy assessment of the home, various energy efficiency measures were recommended. Including improvements to lighting, insulation, windows, air conditioning, and space heating systems. Resulting in a net cash savings of $1,475 in the first year ($123/month).

Solar Panels only: Total Net Investment $22,182
After performing and energy assessment of the home, energy consumption determined the installation of 4.5kw system. Resulting in a net cash savings of $1,370 in the first year ($114/month)

Combined Solar Panels & Energy Efficiency: Total Net Investment $28,335
This time a combined assessment of energy efficiency measures as well as the estimated energy production from a smaller 2.4kw system resulted in a net cash savings of $1,770 in the first year ($148/month).

The moral of the story…, make your home as energy efficient as possible and then power your demand with cost effective clean power. Use your savings from your improvements to pay for you solar panels. Resulting in free energy!
