  Renters not the issue here.

  The issue of landlords not having an incentive to install such things for renters is certainly a concern, but it's pretty much irrelevant to this program. Landlords don't have any incentive to install solar panels now.  So we're no worse off in that regard with or without this program. AND we're better off in that there will likely be more people installing solar/wind/whatever the local community decides to support.  (I could also mention that making it easier for people to pay for such things will drive up demand, thus increasing investment, research and economies of scale which will all eventually bring down the price for everyone).

  This program is about making it easier for people to pay for installing solar panels.  Incentivizing landlords to install such things on rental properties is more or less a separate issue.  An issue worth exploring, but basically irrelevant to this program.On Everything you need to know about Berkeley's innovative rooftop solar program posted 1 year ago 8 Responses
