Solar America Cities

Solar America Cities

The U.S. Department of Energy has named 25 U.S. cities as Solar America Cities, which are promoting solar technology adoption at the local level. These cities will take a comprehensive, city-wide approach to solar technology that facilitates its mainstream acceptance. Solar technologies promoted by Solar America Cities include photovoltaics and concentrating solar power (which both produce solar electricity) as well as solar water and air heating. [http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy08osti/43008.pdf The Solar America Cities Awards] ] The 25 cities selected are: Ann Arbor, MI; Austin, TX; Berkeley, CA; Boston, MA; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Knoxville, TN; Madison, WI; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis – St. Paul, MN; New Orleans, LA; New York City, NY; Orlando, FL; Philadelphia, PA; Pittsburgh, PA; Portland, OR; Sacramento, CA; Salt Lake City, UT; San Antonio, TX; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; San Jose, CA; Santa Rosa, CA; Seattle, WA; and Tucson, AZ. The Solar America Cities program has received a total of $4.9 million in federal financial assistance.
