ABC Solar founded by Bradley Bartz in 2000 has been pursuing design and installation of solar electric and solar thermal systems. The focus is grid-tie systems using the best solar panels and inverters for making 100% of our clients' energy. Solar Bible 2020: Navigating The Man is my most important renewable technology book to date. The key facts are laid out on how to get your dream solar energy system permitted and installed professionally and safely. The "MAN" has put her foot down and now every Public Utilities Commission of the State of California Investor Owned Utility Solar Grid Tie System must have the owner read, acknowledge and signed a 23 page disclosure document. I call this a devious document as it is the result of scams and fraud by bad players and now everyone in the industry must comply.It is perplexing to me how the CPUC does not directly fine and censor bad players in the solar market. Every bad job and complaint has great details as to who did the bad acts. The few bad apples are laying right there on the ground, but the CPUC real title is: Can't Prosecute Utility Companies. Did you know that when you become a solar grid-tie customer you become beholden to the CPUC? There is a certain irony in this as the IOUs (Investor Owned Utilities) have created a cozy relationship with regulators and the Artifice (look this one up, its worth it.) of the whole regulatory action of the CPUC are whimsical. A show, but in no way a show of strength. A show that the CPUC is going thru the motions. The CPUC was founded to be the mindful uncle of monopoly utilities companies. For almost a century the CPUC had only to answer to the CA Supreme Court. That changed in 1999 when certain actions can be taken at the California appellate court. Still, now we have almost 1 million new solar grid tie generators that are under the jurisdiction of the CPUC. The CPUC is not equipped to adjudicate this many charges. The CPUC needs to create a replicate of the superior court system and the small claims court so the 1 million solar generators can receive SWIFT justice. The artifice (did you look it up?) of the system at the CPUC is a rabbit hole for justice. The IOUs simply ignore orders from the CPUC who publicly say "oh darn". If the CPUC has to go the CA Appellate court it will show that it does not have the capability to run its operation. Therefore the CPUC hides behind a network of archaic docket office rules to kill any dissent. Such as no docs can be larger than 3.5mb at the CPUC.. Imagine my surprise that this was transparently only enforced against ABC Solar's advocacy efforts as IOUs filings regularly are lager than 3.5mb with no PEEP from the CPUC.So, this Solar Bible 2020 is dedicated to navigating the man. We feature the new California Solar Consumer Protection Guide and a slew of new and magical off-grid solar applications. My personal favorite is our Solar Hot Tub Fire Machine which is a solar powered battery operated 70psi pressurized stored off-grid fire station. Spectacular! Solar Bible 2020 is worth your time to see a true solar venture early adopter present his path to great new renewable technology. A cool and easy to understand presentation of what is solar technology will help any consumer learn more about what questions to ask. New tech includes amazing BMW recycled electric batteries powering high-speed boats. WOW!The Sun Tech Drive Solar Blender is going to break SCE. Soon we will be able to take 3-phase 200hp motors off of the grid and beat the utility time-of-use shakedown.If the sun can do the job let it. Learn about off-gird solar pool pumps and Solar Thermal Farming, Solar Cooking and more. Thanks!!!Bradley L.
