California Solar Energy Industries Association (CALSEIA) and Westinghouse Solar sponsored this white paper, which gives solutions for homeowners looking to reduce their energy costs.

The paper explains that saving energy in the US starts at home and that the actions individuals take up to reduce home energy costs will give them more disposable income.

The report examines the tradeoffs between energy efficiency retrofits and solar energy generation systems for homeowners throughout the US.

It also proposes solutions to encourage investments by homeowners that make good economic sense for their particular situation.
