I'm not there, so the best answer I could give is:
Look in your local newspaper and yellow pages and look for locals who specialize in this type of work. If anything like Indiana, we almost all will be glad to come inspect your home and give a free estimate. That would be your best bet on learning the answer to this question.

This is a complicated issue. Do a whole lot of study before making any decisions. Time is on your side. Costs are coming down, so savings lost due to waiting will be at least partially offset by lower cost. My 6 kW system in Martinez produces an average of about 20 kWh per day. If your ridge line runs east and west, and you install solar on the south side, you should do a little better in Pleasanton.
Read all you can, try to get to a seminar (contractors put them on), study the Internet, look at solar panels in the search box at the top of this page, and ask questions.
