Everyone: We need to push Governor Schwarzenegger to lobby the Federal government for insuring these municipal bonds! HOW CAN WE GET HIS ATTENTION???

This would unleash huge amounts of capital for these bonds. Investors will knock down doors to buy federally-insured, environmentally-conscious, AAA-level bonds!!! This is what will allow every city in California (and others) to offer these programs.

As an employee of a solar company, we’re definitely happy to see more alternatives for customers out there. Up here in northern California it turns out that Sonoma County is well into running a similar program (http://www.sonomacountyenergy.org/). As of this posting we are still waiting on some city councils to approve it at their next meetings, but by early May all of them should be on board and the county can offer funds as a tax-assessed loan from the $100M initial pool to any Sonoma County property owners who want to save money with energy efficiency and solar improvements.

With Sonoma and San Diego county setting the precedents for implementing AB 811 there seems a good chance for momentum to build throughout California’s counties and perhaps other states who pass similar measures.

Great news for SD residents! Glad to see programs active on the local level in addition to federal and state incentives.

Berkeley doesn’t “have” the program: they actually had the program for a total of 9 minutes. That’s how long it took to completely sell out. They only offered it to the first 40 homeowners to sign up.

Let’s hope the next round is more generous and longer lasting.
