Harness the San Diego Sunshine: How Do Solar Shingles Work for Your La Mesa Home?
If you’re a San Diego homeowner looking to cut down your energy bills and boost your home’s value, going solar is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. But now the question is — should you go with traditional solar panels or upgrade to sleek solar shingles?
With year-round sunshine and rising energy costs, San Diego is the perfect place to invest in solar. In this post, we’ll break down the pros and cons of both options so you can decide what’s best for your roof, your wallet, and your long-term plans.
Sunlight to Electricity: When sunlight hits the solar shingles on your roof, the photovoltaic cells within them capture the sun's energy. This energy is then converted into direct current (DC) electricity.
Net Billing Tariff (NBT) Benefits: In California, including here in La Mesa, we operate under the Net Billing Tariff (NBT) system. This means that if your solar roof produces more electricity than your home currently needs, that extra power flows back to the grid.
Earning Energy Credits: In return for this excess energy, you earn valuable energy credits from your utility provider. These credits can help significantly reduce your monthly electricity costs, especially during the evenings or on those rare cloudy days.
Still Connected to the Grid: You'll still maintain a basic relationship with your utility provider, primarily to cover non-electricity charges like grid maintenance and state assistance programs.
With the right solar shingle system combined with a battery storage solution, some homeowners right here in La Mesa and throughout San Diego County are seeing truly remarkable results – even zero-dollar utility bills! Imagine the savings!
