CO2 levels in atmosphere reaching 400ppm for first time in 3 million years

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached 399.72 parts per million (ppm) and is likely to pass the symbolically important 400ppm level for the first time.

After the state power crisis dented his profits, ABC Auto Care owner, Lee Lizzarraga installed solar system and saw his electric bill plummet. Every electric device at this one-story repair shop on Market Street in Ventura, California, from the overhead lights in the front office to the hydraulic lifts, are powered by the roof mounted solar modules. According to the California Energy Commission, Mr. Lizarraga has the first solar powered auto repair shop in the state. 44% of the initial investment was paid through rebates and tax write-offs and another 32% was covered by a low-interest loan sponsored by the California Energy Commission. Mr. Lizarraga said his former $600 montly electric bill has been reduced by as much as 90%.

Camp Ramah Goes Solar… On 90 Acres in the heart of the Ojai Valley, is installing the largest private non-profit solar power generator system in the state. The 270kW solar power energy system is planned to be installed by spring 2007 in three stages so as not to effect the busy summer camp season. One third has been installed to date, providing one-third of the camps electrical need using a solar power generator system. The 90kW three-sided Cafeteria system provides a state-of-the-art solar power energy monitoring system that includes two 32" LCD displays for educational and camp presentations. GreenerEnergy.ca provided sophisticated tax planning and aggressive California solar power rebates and net metering advice that made the project a reality. Funding was supplied by a grateful sponsor.

This 29kW solar power system was installed on a new tilt-up, glue-lam 20k sq ft bldg. Most of the electrical bill was eliminated by the solar power energy system as estimated, but with added benefits. California state law states that if you work on a commercial roof you must now apply a cool roof coating, reducing the roof temp by 30 degrees. With the cool roof applied and the solar power modules shading most of the roof, the AC bill was cut in half, eliminating the entire electrical bill. Another pleasantly surprised customer.

11-Acre Retail Complex
Culver City, California

Historic 1930's Helms Bakery installs 121kW of Solar Electricity on its rooftop. With over 11 acres of prime high-end retail and a two-year waiting list in the heart of Culver City, CA, the Helms Bakery now shines brighter than ever. Walter Marks of Walter Marks Realty, the owner of the property states, "For a long term hold business it makes perfect sense five years break even great tax benefits and fixed electrical rates for another 25 years." The tenants love the idea it appreciates the property and it is good for the community, what else could you want!" Designed and installed by Solar Electric Systems in August of 2003, bringing the city of Culver City into the spotlight as the city council mandate to be Southern California's leading Solar City.

This world-class solar structure was designed and installed by Solar Electric Systems and includes four electric vehicle charging spaces. The solar carport provides weekday shaded parking for architectural and retail businesses in the building complex and shade for the weekend Organic Farmers Market. The solar electric system adds value to the property without increasing property taxes and provides a hedge on inflation by locking in electric costs for the next twenty-five years. Solar rebates, incentives and accelerated depreciation gave this project a fast payback and good return on investment.

Carpinteria, California

The installation of this new 37.5 kW solar electrical system is only the first phase of a project shop-owners Marty Cherrie and Jed Renshaw hope will reduce their Southern California Edison bill down to nothing. Over 3,380 square feet of roof-mounted panels on the south side of the building power the entire building including halogen lights and air conditioning. "The panels produce enough electricity to actually spin the electric meters backwards when usage is low." said Marty Cherrie. "With rebates and tax incentives paying for about 80% of the project, solar power systems just make economic sense. I highly recommend it."

In the Scenic corridor zone of Malibu Canyon right off the 101 Fwy stands the First Commercial Solar Power Generator Gas Station in LA County, installed by SES of Westlake Village, CA. The newly constructed Shell station/mini-mart and residence has just opened for the busy summer beach season. This two year solar power generation project through the local building department required multiple rebates and detailed coordination because of the restrictive Scenic Corridor issues as well as complex solar electrical power construction issues. The local building inspector stated that SES was the only solar electrical power contractor that had it together on the project, including the general.

When the Electrical Switching Authority for the Western United States decided to install a reliable energy system, they hired SES to design and install a 25kW solar electric system using advanced solar technology. SES installed a 3:12 pitch, non-penetrating solar array attachment system and cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium diselenide (CIS) thin film photovoltaic modules on this world-class building near Folsom Lake.

Two Adjoining Commercial Buildings
Sherman Oaks, California
commercial solar products

Two commercial buildings on busy Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, California get their electricity from the sun. The adjoining buildings were ideal candidates for solar power because they needed re-roofing, most of the electricity is consumed during the day and the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power was offering the best solar rebate in the nation. SES moved air conditioners, welded solar array stanchions to the buildings’ steel structure, re-roofed both buildings and installed 888 Shell 140-watt solar modules on both buildings. This project had a 3-year break-even and an excellent return on investment.

A very professional job

Thanks for the installation of our solar panels and inverter. Well, seeing that first kilowatt of power being generated was pleasing and it feels good doing our little bit to reduce our carbon footprint. We would like to congratulate, you, Nathan and his team on a very professional job. It’s so pleasing to see professional tradesman at work. Little things like draping the gutter with cloth to protect it from the ladder, cleaning up afterwards and the willingness to explain what was going on during the installation. The meter installation team, apart from when the electricity went off we would not have known they were there. Also the explanation about what had been done when they had finished. Yourself for keeping us informed when things would occur. Once again thank you for a very professional job well done.

Great installation job

Hi Markus, Thanks for your quick reply. And yes, we are now the proud owner of PV system, thanks to your assistance. Your installer did a great job and he is also a very nice person to talk to. We’ll have to wait another week to get ActewAGL to connect the new meter though and that means we are almost there. Thank you Murat ,ACT

As you're aware, the guys came on Friday and finalised the job; it's such a pleasure watching your meter run backwards!

A tidy job

Sasha and Darren were very nice people and seem to have done a nice tidy job. It was great to see the disc spin backwards.

Testimonial By: Joseph W. Mile End South Australia

Solar system is 45% over spec. Amazing.

The system you installed for me is going great guns.

Thought you might like to know that during a break in the clouds today the 1915 watt system hit a record output of 2,777 watts - that's 45% over spec. Amazing.

It is just as well I had the larger inverter put in. I might not need the extra panels.
