Oakland, CA is joining other municipalities to offer financing for solar water heating projects through property tax bills.   This financing will be available for both commercial and residential installations and will allow property owners to pay for the solar water heating system over a 20 or 30 year period avoiding the upfront cost of the system installation.

Renewable Funding will be administering the program under the California First program which is one of many PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) funding programs the company is offering.
