The 2014 Award recipients were honored at Vote Solar’s annual Equinox Celebration and Fundraiser held in San Francisco. Mayor Lee provided welcome remarks for the ceremony.

“With Americans plugging into solar power at record rates, it’s an exciting time for energy. Both the opportunities and the challenges for continued solar growth loom large in this rapidly changing electricity landscape.
