PERSONAL RESILIENCE:
BATTERY STORAGE
Are you interested in improving your personal resilience so that you can avoid Public Safety Power Shutoffs? Would you like to save money and buy electricity at the lowest rates?
A battery backup could be the answer.
SimpliPhi, a local company in Ojai that makes 20-year, cobalt-free batteries, is offering Santa Barbara Clean Energy customers $760 - $6,840 off 15.2 kWh to 136.8 kWh batteries.
You can charge the batteries with electricity from the grid or your solar panels when electricity is cheaper (mornings - afternoons) and use the stored electricity in the evenings when rates are higher or when a Public Safety Power Shutoff is protecting infrastructure elsewhere.
SOLAR & BATTERY DISCOUNTS
Are you interested in saving on new solar and battery storage?
Brighten Solar Co. is giving discounts for harnessing energy and storing it. Save $100/kilowatt for solar systems and $70/kilowatt-hour for battery systems. This provides an average savings of $500 for solar and $700 for battery systems. If you are a CARE customer you save even more.
SOLAR & BATTERY SYSTEM
The Santa Barbara Home Power Program covers the cost of a customized solar power and battery storage system. You pay for the power produced by the system over the term of the agreement. No credit check, financing, or lien on property. All county residents are eligible.
HOME ENERGY AUDIT
& WATER MONITOR
Did you know that 50% of local electricity use goes towards water treatment and delivery?
A home energy audit can tell you where you can save money and a free water monitor will let you know if money and water are being wasted.
The first 30 people that sign up will receive this free evaluation and get to keep a water monitor (a $200 value).
APPLIANCE INCENTIVES
Reducing fossil fuel use is a key step to cleaning up our air and water.
INDUCTION
COOKING - TRY IT ON US
Electric induction cooking is one way cooks can take advantage of clean electricity and reduce the use of gas. Some Santa Barbarans have expressed a reluctance to take this step, because they do not believe the quality is comparable. Advances in induction cooking will surprise you. Call our team today to test an induction cooktop kit complete with pans.
TRANSPORTATION INCENTIVES
Are you looking to make a difference locally, help us tackle carbon-emissions, and do something good for yourself and your family? We applaud your efforts and are teaming up with local partners to make it easy.
