A typical neighborhood home in Chula Vista has been transformed into extraordinary, efficient, attractive, comfortable, and cost effective! The City of Chula Vista, ConSol, and San Diego Gas & Electric led a project team that retrofitted the house to achieve "deep" energy savings of over 50%, to demonstrate a new “plug & play” solar photovoltaic system, and to provide a local green job training opportunity.

Peter Hamilton, CCSE’s director of energy services, spoke to Fox 5 News about SDG&E’s proposed network use charge that will charge solar customers for the energy they put on the grid for others to use. “We are concerned with the message that this sends to those that have chosen to invest in solar energy,” Hamilton said.
