Local Challenge
If you own your home, create renewable energy on your own building by installing solar power on your rooftop. Federal and state tax credits and incentives, paired with the GoSolarSF solar incentive (the largest of its kind in the country), an average home will get more than 50% off the cost of the solar system. You can learn about the opportunities at your own home at www.sf.solarmap.org. (If you don’t own a home, take a pic of yourself asking your landlord – on the phone or in writing – to do this! If solar panels are too expensive, check out small solar lights for your garden/yard…)
