https://personalpowerproject.com/ Personal Power Project - Solar Panel Installation Business. We install solar panels, and our specialty is helping people to reduce all of their energy bills to ZERO per year, when the average in CA is approaching $10,000 per year. For most people their electric bill is only one third of their total energy expense. Natural gas or propane gas for your home and gas for your cars amount to the other two thirds. This takes long range planning and that is what we do. If you need an emergency repair or service ASAP, we do that too although it's not our main focus so probably faster to get another company for emergency jobs. Our business model is to help you go 100% off grid while still being connected, if and when you need it. It's easy to be 100% off grid if you are not 100% electric. Being 100% off grid and 100% electric, on everything else is difficult and takes a lot of research, resources, planning, and some good advice and direction. Governments worldwide are mandating the all-electric movement so there is no avoiding it. It might take years for you to get there, which is not unusual and it's worth it, to eliminate $10,000 worth of energy bills per year which continue to climb higher each year. We dispatch our local solar contractors from our nationwide solar companies, of your choice, for all the help you need.

We are a family-owned company that has been in the spray foam business for over 20 years serving Fresno, Clovis, Bakersfield, Oildale and surrounding areas of Visalia California for many years. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a spray-applied plastic that is widely used to insulate buildings and seal cracks and gaps, making a building or home more energy-efficient and comfortable. SPF insulation is known to resist heat transfer extremely well, and it offers a highly effective solution in reducing unwanted air infiltration through cracks, seams, and joints.Attic Spray Foam Insulation Did you know you could be losing up to 40% of your homes energy through the attic alone?! Using Spray Foam Insulation in your Attic is the only solution you should be considering to remedy your attic’s insulation needs. The attic is the part of the house which is easily over looked, but it is also the part of the home that is most susceptible to the external temperature changes. If you attic is not properly insulated it can lead to huge amounts of energy loss and the fluctuation of the temperature within your home. Proper attic spray foam insulation serves as the key to limit and control the effect of the external temperatures on your homes interior environment, monthly energy bills and energy loss.

"Rusty Schrader the owner/operator is a life saver and went out of his way to help me. He is very knowledgeable in the business and I highly recommend this company. You won’t find anyone more honest, helpful, and responsive so don’t even bother looking"

We are energy-efficient professionals who specialize in QuietCool Whole-House Fan sales and installations, as well as other energy-efficient products including LED lighting, electrical upgrades, attic venting, and more!

"Overall,the work that Blake and his foreman,Travis did looks good and appears professional. We love the dimmable light output and we appreciate the lighting solution they suggested for the utility room. What I had to go through to get the job done is why I would not hire the business,Corefficiency again. Blake and Travis were very polite,easy to work with, professional men while on the job. Prior to the job,Blake seemed to have difficulty following up with communication responsibilities.We weren't hearing from him and were at the point thinking that he was just blowing us off,leaving us hanging. When I would call,he would come up with excuses that would put off our project until finally I had enough. He eventually convinced me that he wanted to do the job. The date was set (again) and the job accomplished."

NRG Clean Power is California’s leading clean power provider. We leverage over 30 years of superior customer service installing solar from the south of San Diego to the northern border with Oregon. In other words, regardless of where you are in California, we can help you make the switch to solar! Not only do we offer top-tier solar services, we are also a total home performance company, devoted to sustainability and energy efficiency. We offer fully customized home and business solar installations with battery backup capabilities. We do not service solar systems that we did not install. We believe the future is clean, renewable energy and with your help we are committed to creating it together. Customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect and the cornerstone of our business. As a result, we have earned the prestigious Diamond Certification 4 years in a row, along with the 2019 Angie’s List Super Service Award. NRG Clean Power offers the finest solar products at the best rates with finance options for everyone. We will be with you every step of the way and for years to come. Check out our promos to take advantage of our best deals. And ask about our Referral Program that allows customers like you to earn cash bonuses for referring friends and family!

"No doubt they hire great installation people, but their communication and honoring their quotes has little to be desired. I will elaborate. I was given a quote, left on my voicemail. I responded the next day letting NRG know I accepted their quote. 1 week later I received a phone call telling me they wouldn't honor the quote give, and they cited the reasons as Tarif's. This was back in April 2025. I still went with NRG, albeit at a$1000.00 increase. The second reason I wouldn't recommend this company, and this for me is the final straw, after installing my solar NRG didn't let me know I needed to have an ESR release, in layman's terms this is necessary for your power company to accept your new solar system. I found out this information when they contacted me in August 2025. NEG blamed the company who upgraded my Electrical Panel. NRG INSTALLED MY SOLAR AFTER THE PANEL WAS UPGRADED. Since this company doesn't communicate with its clients I would say go with another company."

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

There are a couple of ways you can save on the cost of your home energy audit. First, find out if you qualify for programs like the Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program for low-income households. Next, check with your local utility company to find out if you qualify for any local rebate programs to offset the cost of this helpful service.

Typically, triple-pane windows made with krypton gas filling are the most energy efficient. A window’s frame, glass, design, and installation all affect its energy efficiency. These windows, in particular, are designed highly effectively in terms of their ability to insulate.

Blower door tests are measured in a few different ways, but the most popular are air changes per hour (ACH) and cubic feet of air (CFM) moving through the house per hour. A good ACH score is less than 2ACH, but 1ACH is better. This means the house experiences a total air change within 60 minutes (for 1ACH). For 2ACH, there’s a complete change every 30 minutes, and so on. CFM scores are similar in that a lower score means less air change, and therefore less leakage.

There are several signs that your house might have poor ventilation, including lingering odors, condensation on your windows, or mold and mildew. Your home may also feel stale and stuffy, or you might have trouble maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home. On top of that, you might develop allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, or headaches.
