Going solar is an ideal way to begin saving money and to invest in clean, renewable energy. With California\u2019s energy mandates outlining California to be greenhouse emission neutral by 2045, solar panels are an important piece of the energy puzzle.  But, even after we choose to have solar panels installed on our homes or businesses, there are other steps we can take to conserve energy and save even more money.<\/p>\n

Minimize Energy Waste<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We create energy waste when we are being careless.  For example, we often forget to turn off lights when we leave a room or leave a bathroom light on at night.  Making a habit of turning off lights or investing in night lights will show an immediate reduction in energy usage.<\/p>\n

Turn Appliances Completely Off<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Newer appliances, such as TVs, stereos, or DVRs, are often shut down into \u201cstand-by\u201d mode when they are not in use.   The electronics may seem like they are \u2018off\u2019 \u2013 but their screens are just faded to black, but they are still actively working.  When you leave these electronics plugged in and not completely turning them off, they continue to consume energy. This could result in an extra $70 a year in electrical use per appliance.<\/p>\n
