What is Net Energy Metering (NEM)?
NEM is a special billing arrangement that provides credit to customers with solar PV systems for the full retail value of the electricity their system generates. Over a 12-month period, the customer has to pay only for the net amount of electricity used from the utility over-and-above the amount of electricity generated by their solar system (in addition to monthly customer transmission, distribution, and meter service charges they incur).
| The Feature | The Advantage |
|---|---|
| No Moving Parts | No maintenance is needed over the life of the system. |
| Online Monitoring | Keep your mind at ease that your solar system is working at its best at all times. |
| Net Metering | Gain credits from the utility company when you produce more electricity than you need for the home. |

5 Things to know about solar electric
Is my home right for solar?
Will my property tax increase?
Solar upgrades will not increase your property taxes. However, many homeowners with solar have experienced an increased appraisal value because homes with energy efficiency upgrades are selling between 7-20% more than a home without upgrades.
How long do solar systems last?
Solar products are now covered with 25 year production warranties and a standard 10 year product warranty on the modules. Inverter warranties vary from 10 years to 25 years. Some inverters offer extended warranties. Solar electric technology has been around for 50 years and with no moving parts they are virtually maintenance free and have a life expectancy of 25+ years.
Why is it smart to finance solar?
More and more banks are offering smart loans to lower your payments over longer periods of time. Most systems can be financed with no money down and a payment that is lower than what you are currently paying right now to the Utility company.
What about roof damage?
Aztec Solar has been installing on different kinds of roofs since 1980. We have experience on all roof types. We guarantee our craftsmanship work and carry insurance, licenses and bonds to protect the homeowner.

HOW SOLAR WATER HEATING WORKS
- A closed loop system utilizes a propylene glycol liquid to protect against freezing and hard water. The sun warms liquid in the solar collector on the roof.
- The liquid is pumped down to the solar tank where the heat exchange transfers the heat to the domestic water.
- As you use hot water in your home, the hot water in the solar tank flows into existing water heater. Because the water is already hot, your water heater doesn’t have to work as hard.
- The solar station monitors the temperature of the liquid in the collectors on the roof compared to the water temperature in the solar tank and continues the transfer process until the desired temperature is reached.
- The solar hot water is ready for use in the home.

HOW DOES SOLAR WORK FOR YOUR POOL?
A pump, usually your existing pool pump, pushes water through a filter to strain leaves and debris. The water is then pumped into a Heliocol solar panel where it is substantially heated. The sun-warmed water flows back into your pool, heating it to your desired temperature.
| The Feature | The Advantage |
|---|---|
| Patented individual tube design | Allows expansion and contraction, eliminating cracks and leaks. Allows roof to breathe, keeping it clean and dry. |
| Patented mounting hardware | Eliminate hoses, clamps and straps. No gaps between panels for smoother look; less than half the number of roof penetrations (if any). |
| One-piece overmolded construction | Eliminates welds and weld leaks. |
| Hurricane resistant | Can withstand hurricane force winds; Heliocol panels are approved by most property and casualty insurance carriers. |
| Low collector-head loos rate | Reduces pump requirements. |

Customer Testimonials
We take pride in our award-winning customer service. With over 14,000 customers, Aztec Solar is the most trusted solar company in Northern California.
One of the solar panels for our pool started leaking. We called Aztec Solar on the recommendation of our pool service and someone came out within a couple of days, checked the source of the leak and told us we needed a new panel. The panel was ordered that day and a week later the new panel was installed and the system is now working great. We’re very impressed with the customer service and quick follow through. We will definitely call them again if we have any problems with our solar.
This was the best decision I’ve ever made. Since the installation of solar hot water, photo voltaic, insulation and sealing my SMUD bills have gone from average $300 per month to under $40 – this may go up this summer when the air conditioning is on, but even with all the Christmas lights burning day and night the bill was still under $40. I can’t thank Don Rodes enough for helping me get this system installed. The whole staff at Aztec Solar has been terrific. I’ve been recommending Aztec Solar to everyone I know.
It was a pleasure doing business with Aztec Solar. Everyone we did business with was professional and at the same time very down to earth and easy to talk to. Thank you Everyone at Aztec Solar.
We appreciate the professionalism your staff has shown us throughout the whole experience from beginning to the end. Our sale account manager, Ken, has called to check on us and to see if we have any questions or concerns; which is just wonderful.
The field technicians were professionals in the true sense of what we consider professional: on time, focused on the job; told me it would take four hours; it took four hours. They gave me hands on instructions, as well as written information about my solar system. They also re-assured me that if I have a problem, no matter how big or small, that I should always call Aztec and they would help me resolve the problem.
We could not be happier with our Aztec Solar System. From sales to installation, everything has been wonderful! One of your installation crew even fixed a loose tile on my roof even though it wasn’t in the way of the panels. Solar has made our pool new again. We have had people over every week. Thanks!
The sales was knowledgeable and honest. The system was installed promptly and professionally, within 2 days my pool was at the desired temperature. highly recommend Aztec Solar. I wish I had installed it years ago!
We would highly recommend Aztec Solar as it was beyond our expectations.
