San Francisco Solar Energy Incentive Program Info

From Vote Solar.org:

Friends,

Great news for city solar!

On Tuesday at the full Board of Supervisors, the full 10-year Solar Incentive Program proposal passed on first reading.

The proposal, led by Supervisor Dufty passed with six additional votes coming from Supervisors Alioto-Pier, Ammiano, Chu, Elsbernd, Maxwell, and Sandoval.  (Daly, McGoldrick, Mirkarimi, and Peskin voted against the proposal.) No doubt this result is due to devoted advocacy on the part of our supporters.  Thanks to each you who called or emailed a Supervisor.

Of course it’s not over yet.  For the Solar Incentive 10-year program to become law, the proposal must pass a second reading of the full board next Tuesday.  Oh, it could become muddled again. (While legislation authored by Supervisor McGoldrick to disallow rebates was defeated, a competing scaled-down pilot program proposed by Supervisor Mirkarimi will also be considered at next week’s meeting.)  

We just need our seven votes to hold until next Tuesday and the program can likely begin in a month.  So thanking the supportive supervisors is critical.

Can you send a thank you email or phone call to the Supervisors who supported our solar program?
