Steve Fulgham shared thisBeautiful Morning to finish taking the roof off this soon-to-be amazing addition/remodel. Next week the existing roof lid and trusses will be completely removed, new free span drag trusses will be set in place, to allow for an open upper floor plan, and a new 42 square tile roof will be reset. This small barn/casita will grow from 700 sq. ft. to 2400 sq. ft. of living space, a workshop, 2 car garage, and 6 stall house/barn. #construction #roofingcontractor #housebuilder

Steve Fulgham shared thisWhen is a routine solar maintenance call not so routine? When the family has teenagers learning to drive!! We received a call from a client that said they did not think their solar PV system was performing well. Rolled a service truck, and being the seasoned experts, the team quickly identified the issue, Teenager's Learning to Drive! (suggestion, perhaps the learning should be done in an open parking lot) Surprisingly the systems was still operational. Although production was down 40%, as soon as we replace 4 LG panels and rails the system will be good as new. Needless to say, it will be a more costly service call than most. #solar #maintenance #team #learning

Steve Fulgham shared thisSolar with Energy Storage?? Not always the first choice. There are certain applications where a standby Generator based Power System is needed to ensure the safety of business continuity. In this situation a winery needed to protect its most valuable asset, its grape harvest. Seems in So Cal power outages happen frequently during harvest and production. The first stage of a long term power solution was the installation of a 3 phase, liquid cooled, Generac generator, providing 200 amps of power to mission critical operations. With fully automatic transfer switch(s) and load management designed into the system, the future will be Sunny, with or without, grid power. The smile on the winery owners face, the 5 Star review, and Peace of Mind, are why we do what we do!! #solar #power #energystorage #generator #generac

Steve Fulgham posted thisThinking about or needing to replace your roof? Every year millions of homeowners consider replacing the roof on their home. If only a small percentage of these re-roofs included the choice of adding solar at the same time, considerable progress towards America’s new green standards could be made. Roofing data shows the average cost to replace a roof is about $10,000. Depending on the size of the roof and other factors, a new roof should last anywhere from 20 to 50 years, based on the materials used and quality of installation. Solar data show the average cost of installing a new rooftop solar system is about $20,000. Real Estate data shows that homes with solar panels sell faster than those without and home buyers across the country have been willing to pay a premium of about $15,000 for a home with an average-sized solar system. Why consider a roof and solar at the same time? The data above shows that combing a new roof with a solar the system would cost around $30,000, however by doing both at the same time you should expect a 10% to 20% discount, saving a homeowner thousands of dollars. Plus, a homeowner would get a Solar tax credit of 26% on the solar cost, which is usually over half of the project total. Other benefits of doing a roof/solar combination installation with a reputable roofing/solar company are: The Environment – we all need to be part of reducing our carbon footprint. Reduced electric bills put money back in your pocket monthly. Often enough to cover the finance payments of a new roof and solar. The energy efficiency of a new roof, with proper ventilation, and solar, will further reduce you cost of living. Since roofing and solar have similar lifespans of 25 to 40 years, by doing both at the same time you will avoid removing your panels for a future new roof. The combination of a new roof with solar does cost more initially, but the financial and environmental benefits are compelling, and there are financing options that can make the project easy to do. #roofing #solar #energy #environmental

The chart ranks the 35 largest companies in the world by revenue — from Walmart to aramco from Apple to SINOPEC Every continent is represented… except one. Africa — the most resource-rich continent — is nowhere on the map. Here’s the kicker: • ⛽️ 8 companies in Oil & Gas ($2.65T revenue) • 💰 4 in Finance & Banking • 🚗 3 in Automotive • 💊 3 in Healthcare Distribution • 🏥 2 in Healthcare Insurance • 🛒 Others dominate in Retail, Tech, Manufacturing & Utilities Africa supplies the oil, the minerals, the labor empowering most of these companies — yet none of the revenue.🙄 Why? Because Africa’s model has been extraction without ownership. Raw materials go out. Wealth doesn’t come back. The continent: • Holds 30% of global natural resources • Has 1.5 billion people • Boasts the youngest and fastest-growing workforce It should be dominating this list, not missing from it. It’s time to stop donating value to the world and start leading it.

The difference between a smooth Prop 19 transfer and unnecessary delays often comes down to one thing: preparation before filing. Gathering the right documents ahead of time streamlines every step and saves homeowners a significant amount of back-and-forth later. Most homeowners in Santa Cruz County who are thinking about a base-year value transfer start by tracking down essential paperwork, even though concrete, county-specific checklists can be hard to find. Real-world experience shows that while general senior housing guides are available, they rarely detail the actual documentation or administrative requirements for Prop 19 property-tax transfers. Because authoritative local guidance was not confirmed in recent reviews, the best approach is to begin with a complete file of what is typically asked in tax or ownership transitions: property deeds, prior tax statements, proof of age, and trust or inheritance documentation if relevant. This way, you’re ready for most requests an assessor’s office might have. Those who work with professionals who are familiar with local processes find that it brings added clarity and speeds up review cycles, especially when inherited property or trusts are involved. If you’ve been through the Prop 19 process, what did your county require before you filed? Which documents made your experience easier, or more complicated? Your feedback could help others avoid common headaches.

Here's Tip #8 on Things You Should Know About Before Building An ADU. 8. Title 24 Energy Report and CALGreen Code - Make Sure You're Compliant California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards, better known as Title 24, view ADUs as new dwellings. To comply with these regulations, the envelope and mechanical systems of new, detached ADUs must meet relevant design criteria. California Green Building Standards Code, or CALGreen Code, also applies to ADUs. The code stipulates a range of building standards aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the new building and promoting sustainable construction. The standards state requirements for such factors as site development, energy efficiency, water conservation, material conservation and environmental quality. All California planning departments will have a checklist of these requirements that need to be in compliance with the mandatory CALGreen Code upon submission of your application. Not having these Title 24 requirements upon your initial application can delay approval of your project by several weeks if not months.
