If you live in Berkeley, California, you can have solar panels added to your rooftop for no initial cost. They’ll just be an extra line item on your property taxes for the next 20 years. This isn’t an initiative that’s in the pipe or being worked on – its actually here. It’s all been arranged through a company called Renewable Funding through its product called CityFIRST. The homeowner gets to pick the installer or contractor of their choice and the city charges it through on the property tax.

California loves basking in solar power. From 1998 to 2007, residents of the state consumed a whopping $2.1 Billion in solar electric technology.
