Welcome to the affordable housing of the future!  This building in Los Angeles uses solar energy to bring costs down for both owners and tenants, and is also aesthetically pleasing, with patio decks and open air spaces.  SES worked closely with the Los Angeles Housing Authority, the architect and general contractor to make necessary structural reinforcements and rearrange some rooftop equipment.  This maximized the size of the solar system and provides the greatest tenant benefit.

90kW  Affordable Housing Solar Power System on Concrete Tile
Savings per month – $2,000

Solar Electrical Systems installed a photovoltaic system on the Irvine Inn, the first CSI MASH affordable housing project in California.  Irvine Inn’s owners were quick to see the advantages of investing in solar, so they hired Solar Electrical Systems because of their vast experience and long track record in the Southern California solar market.  The solar electrical system eliminates electric bills for both the owner and the tenants in order to keep rents affordable.  With rebates and tax incentives, the $585,000 project cost less than $105,000 out-of-pocket.  In six years, the solar installation will pay for itself in solar savings; over the next 30 years, the owners and tenants will save more than $5 million combined.

New federal, state, county and financial regulations mandate green building practices for affordable housing projects.  Millions of dollars are available on a first-come, first-served competitive bid basis for affordable housing retrofits and energy-efficient remodels. In addition, low-cost, green 7A and SBA 504 loans are available to help fund these energy-efficient projects. Solar Electrical Systems offers a great way for affordable housing to go green by lowering electric costs for both tenants and renters in order to keep rents down. SES worked with the architects and builders to plan this solar power system while the building was in its early conceptual phase. In the process, we were able to initiate several changes that saved the grateful owner thousands of construction dollars.

The solar electrical systems also provided a quick return on investment for this real estate investment trust.
