Berkeley Backs Solar Power Loans for Residences

solar rooftopThis week, the Berkeley City Council unanimously voted to give city-backed loans to property owners for rooftop solar systems.  Solar loans for as much as $22,000 will be paid off over 20 years and included on property tax bills. Other cities are closely watching Berkeley’s unique solar loan program and have expressed interest.

  1. If you look closely I am pretty sure that photo is actually a solar hot water heater (look at the series of vertical tubes) not a PV system which is what I think the loans are for. Good news though.
    Cheers
