As a former resident of the SF Bay area for 25 years before coming to Europe, I was happy (but not surprised) to read that the government of San Francisco is strengthening its commitment to renewable energy by installing solar panels on its City Hall roof. The city government will begin calling for bids from solar panel companies next month for the mounting of photovoltaic cells on the roofs of the San Francisco City Hall and the Davies Symphony Hall, a local music hub.
Solar panel installations will also push on in public buildings in government subdivisions like Chinatown and Potrero Hill.
“We want the whole city in 2020 to be powered 100 percent by renewable energy,” said Edwin Lee, Mayor of San Francisco, in a speech before solar energy enthusiasts last week.
