To encourage more installations of solar power in San Francisco, the City is offering incentives to San Francisco residents and businesses to install solar power on their properties.
One solar incentive is available per electric meter for business, residential and non-profit non-residential incentive applications. For non-profit residential incentive applicants, one solar incentive is available per service site. To qualify for the GoSolarSF Incentive, applicants must have already applied for and received approval from the California Solar Initiative. Learn more about the application process here.
GoSolarSF will receive $5 million in additional funding for the July 2010 – June 2011 fiscal year. $2 million of that funding is
reserved for low-income residential applicants. GoSolarSF will start accepting applications that are postmarked NO EARLIER
than July 1st, 2010.

Here is How the Application Process Works
The GoSolarSF application package reflects a streamlined administration allowing us to incorporate CSI application information for projects applying for state rebates through the California Solar Initiative. The package has two distinct program agreements, one for installations 30 kilowatts or less, and the other for projects greater than 30 kW. The program agreement for systems 30 kW or less contains simplified insurance requirements.
