SAN BRUNO SOLAR POWER
The sun is not going to raise SAN BRUNO's rates tomorrow to cover expenses. The sun is not going to request a government bailout at the expensive of SAN BRUNO. The sun provides SAN BRUNO residents an inexhaustible, barely-tapped source of SOLAR energy. With 5.5 hours of average sun per day, SAN BRUNO is ideally located to take advantage of this source of SOLAR power. So, SAN BRUNO, c'mon in and grab a few SOLAR rays!®™
We are not just trying to sell our neighbors in SAN BRUNO a photovoltaic system. We perform a comprehensive review of your existing energy use, and then, when feasible, help you implement prudent conservation measures. These measures often have little to no noticeable impact on lifestyle, other than leaving you with a little more money after paying utility bills. In so doing, we may often appreciably reduce the size of the PV system you will need, the one that others will sell you and move on. Everyone, in SAN BRUNO and elsewhere, deserves the necessary help with SOLAR systems today. And think about it just a little, would you rather send in money to the utility company each month and watch rates rise, or spend less money overall to OWN your own solar system in SAN BRUNO?SAN BRUNO Solar for life, we owe it to ourselves, our families, the planet we live on.
We are working closely with Solar World, one of the WORLD'S largest producers of solar panels, to provide complete U.S. made systems to our neighbors here in San Bruno. We will be purchasing the kits through Consolidated Electrical Distributors in Redwood City and provinding them to you AT COST, you only pay for the installation. This may save you thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the system.Every home is different, so the best we can do online is give you a range of solar system costs various sized solar arrays have run and/or are running. Solar Array Pricing will soon be posted in the products section for Solar World. Posted prices may not always reflect the latest costs. Call or email if you have any questions.
This is not being offerred to any other city or locality because I live right here. I have been working along the greater SF Peninsula for over 25 years from Los Altos Hills through Hillsborough but would like to start staying closer to home. I have never advertised, as over the years I have relied on word-of-mouth. I promise, you will not find anyone who gives greater attention to detail, and you will be hard pressed to find better quality products. Please email me and let me have an opportunity to help you get your utility costs down. We need to have less reliance on grid power and send less money to a bottomless pit, the utiltiy provider.
To provide thse kits with the least overhead costs, we cannot spend a lot of time performing expensive deisign functions, submitting lavish proposals, etc. I will visit your home one time so you can meet me. You will need to provide me with one year's worth of PG&E bills, and I will gather the information pertinent to getting you a system price, check the forms we will use.
If your sole focus is getting the least expensive solar system on earth, then I probably will not be the person you wish to deal with. The fact is that quality solar components and quality solar installation proceedures cost a little more. We only install these solar kits made in the U.S. Let's cut the ties that cost us, or at least minimize the cost of relliance on the utility providers.

SolarWorld’s SunKit® Common Kits
Overview:
SolarWorld Sunkits include all major PV system components including; solar modules, mounting rails and hardware, inverters, grounding lugs and PV jumper cables as well as mechanical and electrical layout drawings. Though this is an international company, their systems are built and put together right here in the United States. These are high quality components with local support. Try having the panel made in China easily serviced if they do not feel like helping you.Pricing:
Pricing is based on watts (also called “Nameplate Watts”). This is intended to simplify the pricing of system installations. The standard module is a 245W Sunmodule®. Since the module represents the largest percentage of the installed system cost this simplifies the budgeting process. More or less inverter capacity, hardware or other components based on installation requirements is included in the $/Watt price. Guide to figuring your costs will inculde SolarWorld Sunkit® tiered pricing which i sbased on system size Standard System, SMA inverter included sample. Guide to figuring your prices: AVAILABLE KITS - Pricing Installed will
be finalized after first site visit:
Small systems (Less than 2.1 kW):
Small systems (2.1 kW to 3 kW): Typical San Bruno range
Medium systems (3 kW to 10 kW): Typical San Bruno range
Medium systems (10 kW to 20 kW):
Large systems (greater than 20 kW):
For those of you who are interested:
Pricing is arrived at by taking the actual cost of the kit and adding in all of the things not icluded. Tese "not included" items can only be figured out after a site visit. Sorry, there is just no other way to do it. We must take into consideration the height of the home, the slope of the roof, the roofing material, where hte inverter will reside ralive to the array, and where the electrical panel resides relative to the inverter.
Sunkits Includes:
Modules with quick connects, racking & racking hardware, inverters & inverter mounting, DC wire (up to 200 ft per string with male & female connectors), grounding lugs.
Sunkits Do Not Include (items not directly part of the PV system):
