DJH Construction Announces the Completion of a 19.44 kW Residential Solar System in Santa Ana,

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 27, 2009 – DJH Construction, Inc., an Orange County based solar integration company, announced the completion of a 19.44 kW residential solar photovoltaic project in Santa Ana, California. This project is an excellent example of how DJH Construction, Inc. leveraged it’s unique engineering and design capabilities to coordinate the planning and management of this complex installation.  

  The 19.44 kW solar system was completed in January of 2009 on the residence of Jeremy and Sandy Kaslow.  The photovoltaic system ties together a total of 90 photovoltaic panels onto over 1,530 square feet of roof space.    The estimated annual production of this solar system is 29,144 kWh, providing almost 100% of the Kaslow’s electrical usage.  The environmental impact of this system is a reduction in green house gas emissions by 500 tons of CO2 over the life of the system (25+ years).  The reduction in green house gas emissions is equivalent to planting 19,996 trees or driving 1,694,576 miles in a small car.  In addition to the utility savings, the Kaslow’s will receive a rebate check from their utility company and a 30% tax credit.  “We are pleased to provide a quality installation to our clients and assist them in taking advantage of incentives that will provide long-term financial benefits,” said, Don Harris, President of DJH Construction, Inc.

  Continued support on the Federal and State level for solar will help facilitate integrating renewable energy solutions on more homes and businesses. On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into legislation the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - a stimulus bill that proposes to provide additional incentives to those seeking to invest in renewable energy.  A key highlight to the recovery bill is the renewable energy grant that provides grants equal to 30 percent of the cost of the solar system.  This program will be administered by the Department of the Treasury and is in lieu of the section 48 investment tax credit.  In a recent interview, Harris said, “We are excited that the solar provisions in the stimulus bill will pave the way for the United States to become a leader in incorporating solar energy as a standard.  This bill will help fuel the economy with jobs and growth amid the economic downturn.  We look forward to the changes and are grateful to be a part of this rapidly growing industry."
