“We are committed to meeting San Francisco’s goal of 10,000 solar roofs by 2010. Local grassroots initiatives like 1 Block Off the Grid can play a key role in helping achieve that goal by educating people, mobilizing communities and negotiating with solar installers to get the best terms for San Franciscans.”
