Why Is Southern California Solar Energy So Popular?
There is a reason California is known as The Golden State. The perfect weather lasts almost all year long, and the rich sunlight is always shining.
But that’s not the only reason that Southern California is such a great place for solar energy:
The Best Climate For Solar Energy
The limitless sunlight in California provides enough electricity in a single hour to provide energy to the entire state for a year! The brilliant weather in Southern California is ideal for capturing the sun’s power.
California and its surrounding states capture the most solar radiation in the entire nation. Our state receives an average of 7 hours of solar radiation, while the rest of America gets an average of 5.
High Electricity Bills
Homeowners in Southern California can pay close to 30% above the national average for their electricity.

The Best Solar Company
When you decide that solar is the best option for your home, you should go with a local business near you that can provide installation and service for 25 years or more.
Most of solar salesmen use third-party contractors, which means they can’t provide installation services even if they wanted to. Go with a company that does it’s own work!

Choosing The Right Solar Company
When shopping for the right solar company, we advise you to hire a company that has its own license.
You can always check for the company’s license at the Contractors State Licence Board website (check for C-46 Solar Contractor License Classification).
Make sure the license matches the name of the company you are going to hire, otherwise getting service for your system can be a huge headache in the long run.
