4 Bedroom / 3 Bath – $1824.00

These units are excellent for CSULB students.  The apt is in great condition.

Why is the rent so low? Because it is not designed for a family.  There is not a very large living room.
The bedrooms are large and each has its own lock. The area is excellent in addition to being close to campus.

This is the first time we’ve advertised the apartment in many years.  Usually it is passed from outgoing students to their friends.

More Affordable Solar on the Horizon?

Whether you’re motivated to join the “green” movement, envious of your neighbor or just simply excited by the thought of a $2 electric bill this summer, then you will be even more excited by recent news that “going solar” is predicted to get a lot more affordable over the next year or two.    

According to a recent article in USA Today, prices for rooftop solar systems, including installation, already have fallen 8% to 10% since October and are expected to drop another 15% to 20% this year.    Due to a surplus in supply from Solar Panel manufacturers, particularly overseas, it is predicted that prices will continue to drop.

In California, which accounts for nearly 70% of the U.S. solar market, a typical 4-kilowatt, $32,000 solar energy system cost a homeowner about $23,000 last year after state and federal incentives. This year, if prices sink as expected, that system is likely to cost $10,000 to $12,000.

Additional incentives are still available on both a Federal and State level which may make the dream of cheaper, greener electric a reality. 

For more information about solar prices, incentives and installation contact a local Solar contractor near you.

Federal: In late 2008, Congress extended the federal tax credit for solar systems by eight years, and waived a $2,000 tax cap in favor of a 30 percent tax credit. For most consumers, this makes putting a solar photovoltaic system on their roof thousands of dollars cheaper.

State: Incentives from the California Solar Initiative decline as the number of installed megawatts grows. Its residential incentives began at $2.50 a watt and have dropped several times since. Customers scrambled to get the $1.90-a- per watt rate before it fell to $1.55 a watt on Dec. 1. Other incentive programs are available for new homes, low-income housing and nonresidential systems.
