Presently there is U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission – Recall Alert
If you have or purchased a home with Solar Roof tiles this information is for you.
A number of 34 and 50 Watt solar roof tile solar systems which look similar the one pictured above have been recalled due to a fire safety hazard due to lose MC3 connectors.
If your roof contains the recalled products you should have been notified; however if this is news to you, a website and a phone line have been set up with information that may be helpful.
The website is http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml12/12725.html and the toll free phone number is 855 498-9441.
The latest information indicates that the 50 Watt panels “may” be warranted &/or corrected by the manufacturer. However, many of the 34 Watt product customers are having to resolve the problem on their own and turn off their system until the problem is corrected.
Check out the website above and call the toll free number.
We may be able to help; Solar Check and Milholland Electric Inc. provide solar system and solar panel repair, maintenance and cleaning.

The state of California is still the number one state in America leading the way in solar power installed capacityand after a detailed city by city analysis, San Diego once again ranks #1.
San Diego still ranks #1On January 24th, a press conference was held at (PLNU) Point Loma Nazarene University to present this information and to celebrate this accomplishment. Major Jerry Sanders and other local community and business leaders attended to offer their congratulations and continued support for our solar power and renewable energy mission.
A segment of the press conference is available at our YouTube channel linked below. For those who do not have the time to view the video, please review the following highlighted excerpts, quotations and speaking points provided by Environment California at the event.
Excerpts & Quotations:
San Diego, CA (Jan. 24, 2012) Environment California Research & Policy Center released a report today cataloging the amount of solar power installed by cities across the state, as of the third quarter of 2011. The report identifies the hubs of the state’s thriving solar economy and shows that San Diego leads all California cities in terms of the number of solar roofs installed, with more than 4,500 projects on residential, commercial and government buildings. Sand Diego also leads the state in terms of the total amount of electricity generated by these systems, measured in solar capacity with nearly 37 megawatts installed.
“San Diego is America’s solar city,” said Michelle Kinman, clean energy advocate with Environmental California Research & Policy Center and co-author of the report, California’s Solar citiers 2012: Leaders in the Race Toward a Clean Energy Future.
Mayor Sanders attending the Solar Press Conference
“San Diego didn’t become the state’s No. 1 solar city byhappenstance; it was the result of local policies and programs that encourage investment in solar power,”said Mayor Sanders.“Collaborating with business leaders in the photovoltaic industry, the building industry, nonprofit partners and our utility, we’ll continue to find new strategies and incentives that will maintain the strong pace of solar adoption in San Diego.”
“I am proud of San Diego’s #1 ranking in roof-top solar two years in a row,” said Senator Christine Kehoe. “More solar power means green jobs and a better environment – two wins for our region.”
“San Diego is California’s city in the sun, but it’s not our weather that keeps us on the cutting edge, it’s our people, our businesses, and our commitment to jobs through a clean environment,” said Assemblymember Toni Atkins. “San Diego is at the center of California’s thriving solar economy with 37 megawatts of solar power. Simply put, solar energy means jobs for San Diego, and I’m for that.”

The Inspection Record Card
So, you have decided to purchase a solar system for your home or business. You have handled the financing and paperwork. Then you are told it will be 4 to 6 weeks before the installation can begin.
Wow, what a bummer! You want to start producing your own power right away. Why the wait?
One reason could be your solar company is very busy, but most often the reason is a lengthy solar project permit approval process and delays associated with the building department also know as the Authority Having Jurisdiction or the AHJ.
The permit package is usually ready in a week but the additional delays are due to the backlog and approval process of the AHJ (the county or city building department) having authority or jurisdiction over your property. Permits package are produced with the specific AHJ requirements in mind. It can take the AHJ up to 3 weeks to approve the permit.
Please check out our brief video which provides an overview of the documents provided to the AHJ, the solar project permit process and requirements. Not designed for full screen viewing.
