According to this article in the Marin Independent Journal, Marin County leads the Bay Area in the installation of solar systems. The article sites a number of reasons why Marin is so progressive. The area has always been more aware of environmental concerns, and with the recent higher energy costs and more awareness being brought to global warming, the number of new system installations has really increased.

The local government is also doing its part to encourage the movement. It is waiving or reducing all permit fees; and in combination with the state and federal incentive programs, the total cost of the system is reduced by more than $10,000 in many cases.

If you are in the Marin area and want to join your fellow citizens in installing solar power, here are three prescreened contractors who specialize in solar installations.

• Light Energy Systems. This Contra Costa based company has been in business for over thirty years. Unlike many of the new companies that have sprung up in more recent years, advancing the use of solar systems has been Light Energy System’s passion in life. They are all-inclusive, able to custom-fit whatever solar system you are interested in.
• Real Goods Solar. This company also brings many years of experience to their work. Established in 1978, they have led the alternative energy world by selling and installing solar systems, as well as educating the Marin area about the benefits of alternative energy.
• Super Solar. This small family-owned business has the advantage of their two owners building and installing every system themselves. This ensures quality control, and they place their pride of workmanship into every project. They hope “to be the best little solar company in the East Bay.”

These are just a few of the hundreds of solar installers we have prescreened for your convenience nation-wide. Check-out which installers are located in your area, and request free estimates today.
