San Francisco Supes OK rebates for solar power systems |
|
From the San Francisco Chronicle
San Francisco supervisors
gave final approval Tuesday to a program that will create a $3 million
fund to provide rebates for residents and businesses that install solar
power systems.
The supervisors also gave initial approval to another solar rebate
program, sponsored by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, to create a $1.5
million fund for nonprofit organizations and low-income residents at or
below the city's median income level. That money would fund a one-year
pilot program.
Under the $3 million program, sponsored by Supervisor Bevan Dufty,
residents could receive between $3,000 and $6,000 for photovoltaic
systems that produce at least 1 kilowatt of electricity. Businesses
could receive $1,500 per kilowatt installed, with a cap of $10,000.
