Why Go Solar with Barnes Solar?
Going solar in Southern California has never made more sense than it does today. The region is home to some of the most expensive electricity in the country and as a local solar installer in Orange County for the past 10 years, Barnes Solar has watched the price of electricity rise consistently. The good news is that rising electricity prices and the onset of appealing solar energy financing options make investing in solar energy incredibly appealing. Solar energy isn’t right for every home or building, but if you own a property and are using even an average amount of electricity, a solar energy system could pay for itself in five years or less just from using money saved on on your utility bill. Did we mention that SoCal happens to get a lot of sunlight and that you are doing a service to the environment by adding solar panels to your home?

For Homeowners
Save Energy…and Money
An average solar energy system lasts more than 30 years but pays for itself in less than 7 years. Solar energy provides a fixed cost of electricity that can reduce or even eliminate your monthly electricity bill and solar energy financing means you can do so without putting any money down upfront.
Tax Incentives
The federal tax credit helps subsidize 30% of the total cost of the solar energy system and property tax exemptions mean that you don’t incur any additional costs for the residential solar panel installation.
Think About the Future
Generating your own power from solar panels can increase the value of the home by 3-5% and going solar helps protect you and your family from the rising costs of electricity.

For Businesses
Invest in Your Business
The average payback period on a commercial solar system is less than 5 years. The system is an asset that can generate long-term cash savings immediately.
Lucrative Incentives
In addition to the 30% federal tax credit, business owners are also able to take advantage of depreciation incentives. Through programs such as MACRS, business owners can see depreciate the entire commercial solar panel installation in just six years.
Earn a Reputation
By investing in solar energy now, you can show customers and other business owners that your company is aware of its responsibility to the community and the environment.

I received quotes from 5 different solar companies and was actually in the process of signing a contract with a different company when I found out the company was being bought out. Friends of mine recommended Barnes Solar, so I gave them a call. That was the best thing to happen to me! Jake was easy to work with and installation went smoothly. He was always available to answer questions, kept me informed on inspections and sent me copies of all the paperwork. I am so glad I had Barnes Solar install my solar and would recommend them to anyone.Linda from RedlandsWe did a lot of research of received 6 different solar bids before deciding to purchase solar panels from Barnes Solar.

Two didn’t show up and Barnes Solar came back with the best price and I felt they had the best experience. Pete came out and we discussed my needs. He gave me some great ideas.
