Mr. Roofing Blog: Alternative Energy

Given that many of the big state incentives have come to the end of their lifespans (the California Solar Initiative is no longer taking new applications), the investment tax credit (ITC) may be the last big solar subsidy for most California homeowners.

With solar power becoming a requirement in California, one of the first questions Bay Area homeowners ask is, “How many solar panels do I need for my home?” The short answer is, it depends.
