If you are a homeowner thinking of buying solar energy panels because you are excited by all the rebates and incentives that are available from the federal and state government might I suggest that you first call Sustainable Spaces in San Francisco and get a home energy efficiency audit before you buy solar energy panels.
If you could save up to 40% on energy cost BEFORE buying a solar energy panel system wouldn’t you want to know what you could do? A home energy efficiency audit may not be as expensive as you think. Sustainable Spaces performs audits starting at $395.00 for homes up to 2,000 square foot house. After you have reviewed and implemented their audit recommendations you may find that you can look at properly sized renewable energy systems such as solar and wind. These systems will be smaller as the home now uses much less energy.

Solar panel energy systems are not cheap and although it’s the right choice to make to reduce your carbon footprint why spend more and invest in a bigger system than you need?

Conducting a home energy efficiency audit makes total sense why would you buy a bigger solar panel system than what you need. It’s like write a book without doing any research.
