Anaheim's
Electric Customers Encouraged to Capture the Sun's Rays and Save Money

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.
