Have you seen how much you can save by using solar panels at your home? You can cut your electricity bill down up to three times less than it currently is. And, the great news is, that when you live in the Irvine or Anaheim areas, you’ve got plenty of sunshine to take advantage of. In fact, Irvine is recognized as one of the leading California cities for home solar panel use. Many homebuilders and home remodelers are installing solar panels to take advantage of not being as dependent on electricity and to look forward to year after year of low electricity bills.


'''<dfn>microformats</dfn>''' are extensions to HTML for marking up [[hCard|people, organizations]], [[hCalendar|events]], [[adr|locations]], [[hAtom|blog posts]], [[hProduct|products]], [[hReview|reviews]], [[hResume|resumes]], [[hRecipe|recipes]] etc. Sites use microformats to publish a standard API that is consumed and used by [[search engines]], aggregators, and other tools.

==Introduction==
A solar panel is made up of photovoltaic cells which take in energy from the sun. Putting panels side by side means you are able to harness an extraordinary amount of natural power. Trained solar panel experts can come out to your home and take measurements to tell you exactly how many solar panels you would need to power your home. The truth is these solar panels can work so well they overproduce power and you can make back money by selling off the excess to your utility company. Imagine your residential solar system in Anaheim not only powering your home but making money for you, as well.

This wiki is the central resource of the microformats community and provides microformats authoring guides, references, specifications, drafts, publishing patterns, research, brainstorming, and issue tracking.


== Get Started==
Installing home solar panels in Irvine or can be fairly pricey. That is why it’s important for you to really take the time to look into the solar panel companies in your area. Don’t be afraid to ask about their training and experience, their pricing, and if they have a contact list of past customers who you can talk to for reference. Most companies are happy to provide this information as a show of sincerity in their business practices and commitment to providing you with the best possible outcome. If a company refuses or cannot provide this type of information, it’s best to go elsewhere.
{{main|get-started}}
Get started with microformats:


* First, make sure your pages and web apps use semantically rich, descriptive, ‘[[posh|<abbr title="Plain Old Semantic HTML">POSH</abbr>]]’ <abbr title="HyperText Mark-up Language">HTML</abbr>.
There are also companies who will allow you to actually lease solar panels for your home. The company, in effect, pays the cost of the solar panel system for you, has it installed for you, and then continues to maintain the solar panels on your behalf. Your responsibility comes in paying a low monthly fee for an agreed upon amount of time. If you want to modernize your home and save money from doing so in the long run, investing in the amazing ability of solar panels is a wise way to begin. Why wait? It’s the perfect time, all the time, in Southern California to find the right solar panel company for you.

In fact, Irvine is recognized as one of the leading California cities for home solar panel use. Many homebuilders and home remodelers are installing solar panels to take advantage of not being as dependent on electricity and to look forward to year after year of low electricity bills.
