San Francisco supervisors gave final approval Tuesday to a program that will create a $3 million fund to provide rebates for residents and businesses that install solar power systems.
... residents could receive between $3,000 and $6,000 for photovoltaic systems that produce at least 1 kilowatt of electricity. Businesses could receive $1,500 per kilowatt installed, with a cap of $10,000.
Well, its a start. How much of a start? Between 500 and 1,000 houses would eat the entire subsidy up. Only 345,527 houses left!
By the way, the $3,000 subsidy is .4% of the value of the house.
Good start, but the wrong end of the funnel.
