JIN Electric
Solar Power Contractors in El Cajon, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 May 2020
“I would highly recommend JIN Electric for any household electrical problems. I had several electrical problems in my home — one being an outlet that wasn’t working and another outlet felt warm when items were plugged in. An employee came to my home, evaluated the issues and quickly fixed the problems. JIN Electric is definitely the company I will continue to call for any future electrical issues. Thank you.”

“"After meeting with several companies we realized we had to do something, but were not sure who to trust. We met Michael through a friend and he was able to tell us the pros and cons of each. Once we decided our best fit he was ultimately able to negotiate a better deal then the company offered. We recommend him to anyone considering solar for their home."”

Genesis California
Solar Power Contractors in El Cajon, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 July 2015
“My wife and I are so happy with our decision to go solar. Genesis helped the process with clear answers for all of our concerns. We didn’t have to look into many companies, when it came to who we were going to use. Genesis had the right price and service from the get go. The quality of the panels are second to none, they look amazing on our roof and add such a great conversation starter with all of our new neighbors. We went over our options of a lease or a purchase, and after lots of questions we decided to purchase. We financed and have had a great experience, including no pre-payment penalties. Our monthly bill is now less each month than our yearly average, which has made solar a better financial decision for us.”

Installing solar panels on the roof of your El Cajon, CA home can help you avoid the rising cost of electricity, increase the value of your home, and reduce your carbon footprint. Solar energy is clean and renewable, and government rebates, subsidies and grants encourage homeowners to make the switch. Solar power systems can heat your home, produce electricity and provide hot water so that your home is entirely self sufficient. So whether you want to improve your home’s energy efficiency, save money, or do your bit for the environment, use Houzz to find the best solar power contractor for your needs.

What solar power systems are available?


The two main solar power systems are on-grid and off-grid. On-grid systems – also referred to as grid-tied and utility interactive – are connected to your mains power supply. If your El Cajon, CA home produces more energy than it uses, your meter goes down and you generate credits with your energy provider (check your state government for details on any rebates available). On-grid solar panel systems have lower equipment and installation costs, and will save you money through net metering.

An off-grid solar power system uses battery banks to store the electricity you produce. These battery banks store the sun’s energy so you can use electricity at night or on a cloudy day. This system is designed to keep household electricity running for about two or three cloudy days; longer cloudy periods require a backup generator. Off-grid systems are most suited to households that have no access to the utility grid, and are sometimes a cheaper alternative to extending power lines in remote areas.

Hybrid and portable solar power systems are additional options. A hybrid uses two or more renewable energy sources – usually wind and solar, while portable solar systems are used mostly in farming, fishing and camping, and can be set up when there is no access to mains electricity.

What types of solar panels are available?


There are three main types of solar panels that can can generate electricity for your El Cajon, CA home: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hybrid. The basic monocrystalline celled panels are fairly efficient and have outstanding performance in cooler conditions, but are marginally more expensive than polycrystalline, which works better in hotter conditions. Hybrid panels use crystalline cells with a thin layer of film, which attracts more energy. This makes hybrid models the most efficient solar panel installation, but also the most expensive. To talk about which solar panels are best for your home and how much energy they produce, contact an El Cajon, CA solar panel company or installer on Houzz.
