Shasta County Solar Connection

Cleaning solar panels is important for maintaining their efficiency and maximizing their energy production. Over time, solar panels can accumulate dust, dirt, leaves, bird droppings, and other debris, which can create a barrier between the sunlight and the panels. This barrier reduces the amount of sunlight that reaches the photovoltaic cells, resulting in decreased energy output. Regular cleaning helps remove these obstructions and allows the panels to capture more sunlight, ensuring optimal performance and maximizing the return on your investment in solar energy. By keeping your solar panels clean, you can help them operate at their full potential and contribute to a more sustainable future. Call Obelisk Energy @ 530 965-7903 to schedule your appointment!!!

If you haven't already, please take a few moments to complete our Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Survey before it closes on Monday, May 22nd.

The Integrated Resource Plan is a long-range planning document that looks at current energy needs and future demands and builds a plan to help REU make the best choices possible for our community. This video highlights just what the IRP is and what it means for our city: https://youtu.be/TyET-NwCrzo.

Planning for the 2024 IRP started in 2021. After customer surveys, public workshops, and meetings with interested parties, REU’s IRP plan focuses on Reliability, Affordability, and Sustainability. Before the plan is officially adopted, the community has one last chance to weigh in. Hurry! The survey closes in just a few days, on Monday, May 22.
