Photovoltaic
(PV) technology converts sunlight into direct-current (DC) electricity,
quietly and without creating pollution. Usually installed on the
roof of homes and businesses, PV systems, or solar panels, are modular,
making systems relatively easy to fit the available space or to expand
at a later date.
As part of our commitment
to meet portions of our future load growth through energy efficiency
and renewable energy generation, Anaheim Public Utilities has
installed PV systems at a number of city facilities. To encourage
customers to commit to renewable energy generation, Anaheim Public
Utilities offers incentives to residents and businesses that
install PV systems.
By installing a PV system
at your home or business, you can help offset your electric energy
use with emission-free renewable generation. For information
and a tour of existing PV facilities in Anaheim, details regarding
Anaheim Public Utilities residential and commercial incentive
programs and more about how you may participate in providing
