Connecting to clean energy in your home or business may be easier than you think and there are several options available. If you’ve ever been interested in going 100% renewable, here are three ways you can make the switch.
1. Install Solar
If you have the option to install solar on your property, it’s one of the easiest ways to guarantee that your energy is 100% renewable. Adding solar also helps lower your monthly energy bill. MCE has allocated $725,000 in income-qualified rebates to help MCE customers install solar. Visit our solar page to see if you’re eligible for financial assistance.
2. Install Energy Storage
Installing energy storage (more commonly known as a battery) helps you store renewable energy. Power is stored during the day when renewable energy production is at its highest (either from your solar panels, if you have them, or from the grid, if you don’t). You can then use this stored energy in the evening when less renewable energy is available and energy is more costly. A battery can also help you maintain power during an outage and lower your monthly bill. MCE’s energy storage page offers more information about the benefits and funding options for batteries.
3. Switch to Clean Energy Providers
If you’re looking for a low-cost, no-hassle option, MCE offers Deep Green, a 100% renewable energy service. In less than 5 minutes and for an average of only $5 more per month, you can invest in clean energy. Switching to Deep Green is the easiest way to lower your carbon footprint, and requires no installation or equipment. With Deep Green, the power you buy for your home or business comes from nonpolluting wind and solar power generated right here in California.
MCE would like to thank the Solar Tribune for featuring MCE on their Climate Change Action page. If you aren’t located in MCE’s service area but are interested in learning more about how you can access clean energy, we encourage you to visit Solar Tribune’s website and learn what other options are available for you.
