Knowledgeshare and Resource List*
SOLAR

Solar Suppliers
A very comprehensive list is here: Solar Supplies List

Another good list, but without links to manufacturers:
Another Solar Suppliers List

Comment: Of these, the leaders in the US include BP, Sharp Solar (nice panels that come in shapes to conform to rooflines), Mitsubishi, Siemens, First Solar, Kyocera, and GE.

Inverter Manufacturers: List of Inverter Manufacturers

Comment: The Inverter is the part that converts the DC from your panels to useable AC. Look through the list for Grid Tied inverters. Installers usually suggest a particular preferred brand in their installations.

Installers Best in Breed-SCV*
Main Page: Solar by Zips

Here are the Quick Links to some SCV Zip Codes:
91351, 91387, 91355, 91321

Comment: I found this excellent website that lists who installed what and where in the SCV. Advanced Solar appears to be one of the more popular choices here.
You can go to the home page and type in other zip codes as well. It isn't perfect (some of their grid tied provider listings are wrong) but it is very helpful.
If you click on the company names it links to a fairly complete list for that installer--prices, location, panels used, and inverters used.


Windpower
One industry leader: Bergey Windpower

Comment: Though in its infancy for home installation, there are companies developing products for smaller installations. Wind Turbines would be working quite well today!

Thanks!
We are grateful for Drew's good works on this list!
