According to multiple sources, Lee made an announcement at the swearing-in of new California Energy Commissioner David Hochschild, stating that he think it’s time to fully restore GoSolarSF, which has made it possible for more than 2,000 residents of the city to install solar panels since its inception in 2008. The City and County of San Francisco website reports that Lee plans to add $2 million in funding for the fiscal year 2013-2014.

“GoSolarSF has shown a proven track-record of success and has created more than 100 jobs for San Franciscans while jump-starting our own local solar industry,” said Lee. “Today, our city is a leader in clean energy because we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in part, by generating more and more of our energy locally from rooftop-installed solar arrays.”
