Mayor's Solar Challenge - Options

 
 
Mayor Reed's 60-Day Solar Challenge
During the 2008 California Clean Tech Open, Mayor Reed surprised the crowd by issuing a challenge, calling on solar companies to develop ways for San Jose residents to install solar energy systems on their homes at no cost. Setting a 60-day deadline, Mayor Reed hopes to help families who are eager to switch to clean, green energy but cannot afford the upfront costs.
