How Yuba County Solar Installers Can Help Battle Climate Change
California is no stranger to the adversity that climate change creates; with a wide variety of issues that can have devastating impacts on almost every facet of our lives. These climate change can be sourced back to California’s diverse geography, dense population and many of the economic activities. Because of this large geographic diversity not all areas of California face exactly the same challenges. For instance, the more coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise, which can lead to coastal erosion whereas more inland California locations have an increased risk of lengthy and extreme drought conditions.
Yuba County also experiences the following climate change challenges:
- Heatwaves and urban heat islands
- Poor air quality
- Loss of biodiversity and disrupted ecosystems
- Flooding and riverbank hazards

How Do Yuba County Solar Installers Help Homeowners Battle Climate Change?
Yuba County solar installers can install a residential solar panel system that battles climate change by reducing their carbon footprint along with some positive benefits for each of the particular challenges Northern California faces.
For instance, generating and using the sun’s energy helps to reduce the demand for energy sources such as hydroelectric power can help conserve water.
The solar panels in a residential solar system absorb sunlight so that it can be converted into energy that the home can use, as such it reduces the amount of heat then absorbed by surrounding buildings and surfaces to help alleviate some of the urban heat island effect and lower temperate in urban areas.
Using solar energy instead over other sources of power helps to reduce the greenhouse gases and the harmful emissions that contribute to poor air quality, loss of biodiversity, disrupted ecosystems, flooding and riverbank hazards.
How Do Yuba County Solar Installers Help Homeowners Save Money?
Top Yuba County solar installers can install a residential solar panel system that saves homeowners money in a few different ways!
A home solar system can reduce electricity bills, and the savings only increase the longer the system produces.
Utility companies can offer net metering programs so that homeowners can generate credits on their electricity bills when they
produce more energy than they use. This excess power gets sent back into the grid and the credit this produces, depending on the
utility company, can either be used to offset electricity costs during lower solar power productions times like the night, or
turned into a cheque the homeowner can take right to the bank!
Residential solar panel systems are proven to increase the value of the home.
Homeowners are eligible for a few types of incentives and rebates to help with the initial costs of installing a solar panel system. Not only are these savings from federal, state and municipal sources, but also from some utility companies.
Generating their own clean, renewable energy direct from their home means that homeowners are less dependant on the utility company which means that savings can also be found in price protection should the electricity rates increase over time.
