Getting Started!

Before going solar, the first and most important step is to make your home and work environment energy efficient. Solar Santa Monica believes everyone can incorporate energy efficiency measures into one’s lifestyle without too much added hassle. All it takes is a little help…

Homeowners: Take these steps!

There are many things you can do to lower your energy bills and carbon footprint.  The documents below provide action steps that you and your family can incorporate into your lifestyle.  Start with one thing at a time and eventually you will turn your home into a greener, healthier, less expensive, therefore more sustainable environment. 

1. Carbon Calculator - What is your carbon footprint?

2. Do-it-yourself Energy Survey - Lower that footprint!

3. Find Your Solar Potential (Solar Map) - Find your home, sunny roof, and your solar savings potential!

4. Solar Cost Estimation Table - Based on your usage, see how much solar you need to offset your entire bill.

5. Call a Contractor! - We have solar electricity (photovoltaic), solar hot water (solar thermal), and solar pool heating experts on our list that were screened and selected.

"Our roof had a lot of different pitches, which made installing our 2 kW system a challenge. Our electric bill went from $500-600 a month to $150-190 a month. We also replaced an electric water heater with a tankless gas heater."

"The more systems people buy, the cheaper they'll be! We added our 2.7 kW system as part of a home remodel in 2004. It has cut our bill in half in the summer. We wanted to offset our whole bill, but just didn't have the roof space."
