GoSolarSF Program

To propel the City of San Francisco into the clean energy future, the City in 2008 launched GoSolarSF, a program that provides a monetary incentive to help residents and businesses install solar panels on rooftops across San Francisco. GoSolarSF reduces participants’ electricity bills and shrinks the City’s carbon footprint. Whether you’re a residential customer or commercial installer, we are here to assist you with the process.

Important Information About Remaining GoSolarSF Funding

This successful program is now nearing its end as most incentives categories are no longer available. We sincerely thank you for your participation in the GoSolarSF program and wish all our installers the very best in getting through this difficult time.

• Currently only Nonprofit/Municipal, Nonprofit Residential, and low-income DAC-SASH incentive categories remain available. All other categories are now fully subscribed and closed.
• Please review this linked notice to help navigate the program as available program funds become fully subscribed.
• As January 2021 this web site is being updated and maintained to serve only those categories with remaining funding and currently enrolled applicants.

Program Eligibility

• Participants must be a CleanPowerSF customer or an existing Hetch Hetchy Power electric customer; and
• The solar installation must be performed by a GoSolarSF contractor that is certified by the City's Office of Economic and Workforce Development. View the Certified Solar Installer List.

GoSolarSF strongly encourages applicants to shop around for an installer and to request at least three separate bids before choosing a contractor.

Residential and Low-Income Customers

Basic Residential and Low-Income incentives are fully subscribed, and only Grid Alternatives: DAC-SASH incentives remain available. If you qualify for Grid Alternatives: DAC-SASH program, you may be eligible to receive incentives for a solar electric system. 

GoSolarSF partners with Grid Alternatives, a non-profit solar installer that serves low-income families. Grid Alternatives operates the Energy for All Program, which includes the following program: Disadvantaged Communities – Single-family Solar Homes (DAC-SASH).

Homeowners qualified to receive solar with the DAC-SASH program are eligible for a no-cost solar system, which can save up to 50-90 percent on a family’s electric bill. Not sure if you qualify? Determine your eligibility here: GRID Alternatives’ DAC-SASH Information & Instructions.
