California has been a leader in clean energy adoption from the start and continues to be a trailblazer.\u00a0 The mandate is aimed at lowering the state\u2019s overall greenhouse gas emissions.\u00a0 And with recent reports about the alarming, and potentially devastating impact global warming and climate change has on our world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Are the Benefits?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The largest benefit is that there will an increase in renewable energy dependence in the state of California. \u00a0\u00a0The less electricity produced by burning fossil fuels, the less greenhouse gas emissions will be released into the air and water.

That means that the home, even with solar, is still dependent on the utility grid.<\/p>\n<p>For a someone purchasing a new home, there are several consequences.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/selling-home-with-solar-panels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New homes will sell for an average of $10,000 more with solar installed<\/a> than they would sell without.\u00a0 And although solar is a desirable amenity, it makes purchasing a home in California&#8217;s very expensive market, even more expensive, even out-of-reach for some families.<\/p>\n<p>Second, people will still have to pay for electricity from the traditional utility grid.\u00a0 And if they do want a complete offset, that means that a new solar installation would need to be purchased and installed.\u00a0 This just adds to the price of the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a local solar installer, there is no doubt that we support solar.\u00a0 The more people that have solar, the better the environment, the better the local job market and the healthier the community.\u00a0 However, this mandate will weigh heavily on the shoulders of homeowners and individuals seeking to buy a home.<\/p>\n<p>We support solar. But, we also know that having a small system installed, just for the sake of installation, is not productive.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It will not save a homeowner money.<\/li>\n<li>It will not offset much greenhouse emissions.<\/li>\n<li>It will not benefit people, or the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best way to have solar installed on your home is with a local solar installer.\u00a0 Your residential solar system should be designed to offset your needs and electrical usages.\u00a0 Not just built to answer to a legal mandate.
