We’ve taken the plunge and have gone solar, having in the that past week or so solar panels installed. What with the rebate from Southern California Edison, the Federal Tax Credit and increase to the house’s value, it’s a med-long term investment that just made sense. For the price of a hybrid (which I’ve had since 2004 ;) we’re now going to be generating 80-90% of our own electricity!
Hat’s off to SunPacific Solar Electric (http://sunpacificsolar.net/). From the no hard/pressure sales (Thank you Dan!) to the direct partner involvement (Thank you Jay and Tom) to the outstanding installers (Thank you Nic and Connor) all I have are good things to say about them… They are a small firm, and we were their first Simi Valley installation, but neither showed nor mattered. It was as if they were a “big boy” in their offerings, professionalism and approach, yet they still had the personal feel smaller firms seem to have.
Here’s a quick YouTube video of the before, during and after (my first YouTube video by the way… ;). Of course, with the required video of the electric meter spinning backward…

BTW, since we’ve been online today (in test mode, finally inspection should be tomorrow) we’ve already generated 10kw of electricity. How awesome is that! :)
