San Jose, CA - Renewable Power Solutions, Inc., a provider of solar energy installation services for Bay Area residential, commercial, non-profit and governmental buildings, announced this week the immediate availability of a 1.2-kilowatt solar system for less than $5,000 after California state rebate incentives, tax credits and first-year energy savings. It's a small step in one jurisdiction to seeing the price of solar drop.

The Renewable Power Solutions "Little Giant" solar system can power average household appliances like an energy-efficient refrigerator, a small air conditioner unit, a dishwasher or 64 compact florescent light bulbs, notes the company. The financial benefits of this system over 25 years equal approximately $55,000.

Today, California offers rebates at $1.55 per watt. The Energy Commission provides incentives for energy-efficient new home construction under the New Solar Homes Partnership and for existing homes under Go Solar California.

The Little Giant system contains six solar panels built by Sharp rated at 216 watts each and six Enphase Microinverters.
