Real Goods Solar recently celebrated the completion of a 417 kW system for Richmond Village, an affordable housing community in the San Francisco Bay area. The company will participate in an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 4th. So far, Real goods Solar has designed and installed 790 kW worth of solar installations for affordable housing communities in the area.
In a press release, John Schaeffer, Founder and President of Real Goods Solar, commented on the news:
“Richmond and San Francisco now have beautiful and efficient solar systems that will produce low-cost power for many years and allow them to be an example for sustainability and green collar jobs in the community. It’s very gratifying to see the underemployed and disadvantaged workforce put to work installing solar and to see the Solar Living Institute’s training programs come to fruition.”
