Anaheim's Electric Customers Encouraged to Capture the Sun's Rays and Save Money
source: press release 2002.01.18 [pdf]

Business and residential electric customers of Anaheim Public Utilities can now receive
incentive funds for installing photovoltaic systems (also known as solar power or PV) at their
facilities or homes.

The incentive helps customers offset the cost of PV purchase and installation and is based on
the amount of PV power installed by the customer. Participants will see a reduction in their
utility bills since the PV system produces energy for the customer at the site of installation.

This program offers many advantages, including financial savings, energy reliability and
environmental safety. PV systems generate "green power," as they release no smog-inducing
emissions to the atmosphere and they are naturally sustainable, depending only on the sun as a
source of fuel. Also, because they have no moving parts, they are quiet and require minimal
maintenance.

Customers may call 714/765-4182 to learn more about the PV incentive program. Residential
customers may call this number to enroll in a free PV informational meeting to be held on
Saturday, April 27, 2002, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, at the Downtown Community Center located at
250 East Center Street in Anaheim. Reservations are required.
