San Francisco and Berkeley Solar News
Leading the nation in promoting local power production, San Francisco and Berkeley have initiated major rebate and financing programs for their residents.

SF Go Solar is now in effect! The program rebates you $4,000 for using qualified contractors
(like us), and provides an additional $5,000 incentive for below median-income
purchasers (and below median-income in San Francisco is more than you might think).  Read the program
FAQs for complete details.

Meanwhile, Berkeley's FIRST program is up and running, pioneering community based financing for solar. The pilot program will allow 40 residents to add their solar array cost to their property tax bill, thus shifting cost away from the individual and on to the house itself. This type of financing is about to spread nationwide, and recent changes to the tax code allow homeowners to take advantage of the new 30% federal tax credit, too!

BIG NEWS - Residential Solar Tax Credit now 30%!
The Solar Investment Tax Credit finally passed!
Unfortunately tied to the Bailout Bilge, the legislation makes solar greener than ever. By removing the $2,000 cap, congress gives homeowners a full 30% tax credit on their installation cost, making your only safe investment option incredibly high yielding. With the market crumbling, and PG&E's annual 6% increase pushing bills sky high, you can sure use it.
- We are in the process of revising all the financial data on this site - please contact us to confirm anything that doesn't look great.
