PRESS RELEASE - Going Solar: A Homeowner's Experience

This Book Could Save You $20,000 or More

Here's a book that shows how homeowner, Robert Brenner saved over $20,000 through smart research and purchasing of a residential photovoltaic solar system. Bids varied widely and selecting the best vendor was critical to getting the most for his money. One year after his residential solar system was installed at his home, the results were available, and he began to write about what he learned and how he cut his electrical bill by 1300%.

In his book Going Solar: A Homeowner's Experience, Brenner describes why he decided to invest in solar, how he determined the appropriate system size, how he found qualified installers, how he requested, received, and evaluated proposals from solar system vendors, the installation process (with multiple photos), his actual costs, how he funded the project, the state rebate and federa; tax credit that he received, and the actual electrical cost savings realized after 12 months of solar system operation.

In simple language, this book explains residential photovoltaic solar power systems and how to procure and operate such a system. The book also describes the tangible benefits of going solar — reduced electrical bills, increased home value, and environmental improvement by reducing utility company carbon dioxide emissions.

Besides saving money, Brenner is doing his part to keep the air we breathe clean and fresh. Now he wants to share his experience with others.

"Thank you for coming out to the Rancho San Diego Library and giving the timely presentation on 'Going Solar' last evening. It was a pleasure meeting with you. Your presentation was easy to follow and very informative. I am sure that those present in the audience benefited from the presentation as there were interesting questions."
— Hari Bhalla, Librarian, Rancho San Diego Branch Library, El Cajon, CA

"It was an excellent and extremely informative presentation. We certainly benefited from your generosity in sharing your personal experiences. It really put this into perspective to hear a direct and real personal experience from a homeowner like you who actually went thru this experience. I know many people think about going solar, but are afraid to take the big and quite expensive step cos they're not sure what to expect. Your presentation and book are certainly a big asset in that decision making process. "
— Pauline Lim, Program Chairwoman, Shelter Island Rotary Club - San Diego, CA
