We here at the San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Organization realize that, when it comes to energy efficiency, minimum investment can reap maximum returns. It has been proven time after time after time that plugging up holes, upgrading lights and making relatively simple and inexpensive changes can yield big-time savings.
U.S. energy officials have even altered their favorite line of "energy-efficiency is the low-hanging fruit" to this: "energy-efficiency is fruit on the ground."
Here's a story that chronicles the case of a Southern California homeowner who installed solar panels - but found that energy conservation and efficiency were the sweet parts. http://www.scpr.org/news/2011/02/24/ee-solar/
