San Diego named #1 Solar City for Second Consecutive Year

January 27, 2012 By Kerri Verbeke Kapich Leave a Comment

San Diego was recently named the #1 Solar City in California for the second year in a row by the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE).

With 4,500 rooftop installations generating almost 37 megawatts of energy, valued at $9 million worth of power, San Diego’s #1 status as a leader in the solar industry in California is a “result of innovative state and local policies”, noted Andrew McAllister, CCSE’s director for policy and strategy.

“I am proud of San Diego’s No. 1 ranking in rooftop solar two years in a row,” said Democratic State Senator Christine Kehoe. “More solar power means green jobs and a better environment – two wins for our region.”

In an effort to support the growing sustainable energy industry in San Diego, ConVis encourages members to contribute content related to their sustainability efforts to the sandiego.org website through MemberNet.

In addition, our sales team is focused on driving sustainability-related meetings and conferences to San Diego, as well as engaging sustainability-based companies for their business. We are enthused and encouraged by this accolade of San Diego‘s ranking as the #1 Solar City, and will continue supporting efforts to  maintain this standing.
