Berkeley First: San Francisco Next!
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has announced that San Francisco will adopt municipal financing that helps building owners add renewable power without the risk or the hassle of loans.
The program is based on the Berkeley First program which allows homeowners to pay for solar installations through a 20-year assessment on their property taxes.
Newsom says “We’re going to adopt Berkeley’s program … but take it to a whole ’nother level.”
He’s not kidding: Berkeley’s was $1.5 Million (and sold out in the first nine minutes)
San Francisco’s program will be $30 million!
