El Dorado County is prime Solar country. Placerville, Auburn and Lake Tahoe are all great locations for High Power production. Higher Elevations yield higher power.

Clear skies and cool air are the best producers of solar electric power. Because cool air cools the solar panels and increases their efficiency, cooler air produces higher output. This combined with little smog and no fog and you have a system that will perform better than the same system in the average California valley or coastal town.

Solar energy systems have become popular in these areas as they help preserve the clean and natural envrioment in places like Placerville and Lake Tahoe. Ericson Solar has been providing the finest solar systems here for many years and has the reputation to prove it. With competitive pricing and numerous happy customers, we are confident that you will be very pleased with one of our fully engineered Solar systems.

For those who didn't know, the State of California is a big solar power booster. You can learn more about their solar programs starting from this page: Go Solar California. On that page, under the menu at top titled 'Solar for Your EXISTING Home' the menu item 'Cash Back for Solar' has a submenu with links to info pages about the California Solar Initiative and related federal incentive programs, etc.
