When Was Your Last Panel Cleaning?
Your solar panels work hard every single day—through dust, pollen, bird droppings, smoke, and everything else the seasons throw at them. Over time, that buildup can block sunlight and reduce how well your system produces energy. Think about a car that's been sitting outside for months or years. Even with rain, environmental dirt and grime still collect over time. Eventually, it needs a proper wash to keep it looking and performing its best. Your solar panels are no different. While solar panels are built to withstand the elements, that doesn't mean they're maintenance free. Regular cleaning still plays an important [...]

Plan Ahead with Safe Harbor: What Every Business Needs to Know
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is set to bring changes to commercial solar in 2026, introducing new limitations on which products can be used. The good news: projects that begin construction before December 31, 2025, can be safe-harbored under today's more flexible rules—giving you access to the widest range of products and pricing options. Solar continues to be one of the most reliable and profitable investments for businesses.

Get Your Money Before It’s Gone
A new law just changed the game for the future of solar. This latest executive order confirmed the elimination of the popular 30% federal solar tax credit. That means after December 31, 2025, residential homeowners who pay cash or finance and own their system will no longer receive this cash incentive for going solar. No slow phase out, no grace period. (Check out our LinkedIn post for more details.) What does this look like for California residents? Imagine Brian. He’s been thinking about installing solar panels on his roof for years. He knows it saves money, helps the environment, and adds value to [...]
How Does Solar Save Money?
We all know that using renewable solar energy helps protect our natural resources. But it also allows you to take advantage of the financial benefits that come with it—from increasing the value of your home to getting tax rebates and saving some cash on everyday activities.So what does that look like in action?

PG&E to Customers: “Pay More So We Profit More”
Yes, it’s true: more rate hikes are coming for PG&E customers—and this time, they’re not even trying to hide the fact that it’s solely to increase profits for shareholders. The utility company is asking for yet another rate increase in their recurring three-year update from the California Public Utilities Commission. It specifically cites boosting investor profits as the rationale for the increase, despite reporting record profits for two years in a row—$2.47 billion in 2024, on top of the $86 million that is already earmarked for shareholder dividends. So what does this mean for customers like you? In short: higher bills, fewer answers, and [...]
