Supes OK Rebates for solar power systems. by Wyatt Buchanan, Wednesday, June 11, 2008
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.

Even with $3K to $6K form the city, how can people living in the bay view afford to put in solar panels on their roof if the cost is $30K? Im one of the lucky first 50 to sign up, but it seems like there would be a lot of paperwork to complete. Are we going to get some help in locating the required paperwork? Thank you for your gallant efforts in helping out great city get “Off The Grid”. Scott Burry

Hi Scott,
Yes, we are definitely going to help streamline the entire process - including paperwork. We’re working closely with City Hall to understand the new rebates and how to apply for them.
