Plan It Solar Office and Installation Crew 2007

When Choosing a Solar Electric System Provider There are 3 important factors to consider:

1. EXPERTISE 2. SERVICE 3. VALUE


EXPERTISE
is required to design a safe system
that will accurately and reliably produce electricity.
SERVICE is always an essential part of the
successful ownership of a solar system.
VALUE is high-quality equipment &
service at affordable prices.


1. EXPERTISE

Plan It Solar’s expertise is spread out over three decades and is comprised of three distinct teams.

Technical Expertise
Our main designers live with solar. Their combined expertise encompasses solar electricity, wind power, hydropower, solar hot water & solar water pumping. Two have been working with solar since the 1980s and two live off the grid with solar power. And, until our office moved in 2005, Plan It Solar ran on an Evergreen solar system.


Management Expertise
We have 4 project managers who focus on maintaining a productive and efficient interface between our
customers, our installers and the 2 agencies involved with most solar projects: PG&E and your local
building department. Two live with Evergreen on-grid solar systems.


Installation Expertise
Our exclusive installation partners are the experienced, talented and friendly crew at California Solar
Electric, who work seamlessly with us as one cohesive team during the installation of all our solar
systems. They will be doing the hands-on install work, allowing us to provide you with a 100% local
combination of expert sales, design, service and installation.

3. VALUE

EQUIPMENT VALUE
Plan It Solar’s preferred brands of solar system equipment reflect the highest quality standards on the planet. While other solar companies might sell you the cheapest panels they can find, you will often get exactly what you pay for. We are able to sell PV panels made by BP, Sharp, Mitsubishi, SolarWorld, SunTech & Sanyo, but we prefer Evergreen and SunPower. These are the two primary solar panels we sell & their distinct advantages:


Evergreen ES-190 190W

The most environmentally friendly solar panel made, with less energy, less silicon, and fewer chemicals needed per panel, plus Evergreens are made here in the US. Less silicon = less cost, and tighter output tolerances = real world output closer to actual rating.

SunPower SPR-215 215W
The world’s most efficient solar panel on the market since 2005, with a unique completely all-black look. Available at Plan It Solar in the Gold Country region.

INSTALLATION VALUE
Beware of the cheap installation! Some contractors may hire inexperienced, uncertified workers to assemble your solar investment. Solar systems are designed to operate for decades if carefully assembled in accordance with all safety codes. Always use a crew run by a NABCEP-certified and experienced hands-on solar electrician. CA Solar Electric Co. ensures that all of Plan It Solar’s customers receive a competitively priced installation done by a properly qualified, trained & insured crew. Together we provide all-around superior-quality equipment, installations and customer service, at affordable prices.

It all adds up to the best value around!
