Stimulus adds tax credit for home solar panels -- San Francisco Chronicle

Homeowners interested in sticking solar panels on their roofs got a big boost from the $787 billion economic stimulus package signed Tuesday by President Obama.

Homeowners will now be able to get a federal tax credit worth 30 percent of the cost of their new solar system even if they're also receiving state or local financing.

That could make a big difference in California, which offers rebates to homeowners who install solar systems. And Berkeley has a new solar financing program that lets homeowners pay the cost of their solar systems over 20 years, a program that San Francisco and other cities plan to emulate.

A typical home solar system generates about 3 kilowatts of power. The installation cost in California averages roughly $8.10 per watt, according to Adam Browning, executive director of the Vote Solar advocacy group, meaning the typical cost is $24,300.

On Saturday, January 17, 2009, the large redwood tree located as you enter the front gate will be trimmed. We are requesting that all cars be moved from the front area near the large redwood tree between the hours of 8:00-11:00 AM. We are also advising that residents of units 101-106 refrain from parking in front of their units during these hours. This is not a permanent restriction; merely a temporary measure to ease trimming the tree.

Thank you.

-- your Board of Directors
