Solar Power for Your Home for Up to 60% Off
Posted on 16. Sep, 2009 by Lori Katz in Solar
In our first report, we discuss one of the most important ways to go Green: by getting your household electricity from the sun. If you are lucky enough to live in San Francisco, you can receive rebates from both the city and the state that can save you thousands of dollars.
The San Francisco incentive program, GoSolarSF, coupled with the California Solar Initiative, a rebate program sponsored by the State of California, and federal tax credits could pay half the cost or more of a solar power system installed in your home or business.
Basically, anyone or any business that is on a meter and pays an electricity bill is eligible for an incentive payment from the City. If you qualify to receive a rebate through the California Solar Initiative you will qualify for San Francisco’s incentive payment.
GoSolarSF offers incentives ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 for residents and up to $10,000 for businesses. Low-income residents can qualify for an additional $7,000.
Saving on Clean Solar Power is Beautiful
In San Francisco, a typical 2.5 kilowatt (kW) residential solar installation costs about $25,000. Depending on the level of incentive, the cost of your system could be cut in half. Low-income residents could save 60% – 70% and pay between $7,000 and $10,000 for solar power. Businesses and non-profits could save well more than half the cost of their systems.
