San Diego Gas & Electric, along with the city of San Diego, announced a program on Tuesday that will help low- to moderate-income homeowners in communities most affected by climate change to install roof-top solar panels at little to no cost.
“It’s designed to serve the equity community in San Diego using the Climate Equity Index, which combines economic factors environmental factors to identify those families in San Diego most at risk for climate change,” said Larry Goldenhersh, the center’s CEO. “We’ve designed this because we know those types of families can’t afford the $20, $30, $35,000 dollars cost to buy the solar panels then have the contractor install it,” he said. “So we want to help those individuals drive down their electricity costs.”
While her neighborhood is not one of the designated communities, she welcomes the idea. Palacios had considered adding solar panels before but couldn’t afford it on her salary as a library assistant.
