It was six months in the making and now it’s an ordinance. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors have passed the Solar Energy Incentive Program which provides incentives ranging from $3,000 to $6,000 for the installation of photovoltaic systems on residential properties (1kw minimum) and incentives of up to $10,000 for the installation of photovoltaic systems on commercial properties ($1,500 per kw).
The initial budget for the program is $3 million and the subsidy is available for new systems (on existing buildings) which were “committed to” after December 11, 2007 (but not before).
UPDATE: A draft overview of the program and application (both of which need to be updated to reflect the final ordinance language and incentive amounts).
