Check out Luminalt Sales Manager Zach Sharpe speaking to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, advocating for more practical building and fire codes that allow residents to install solar and battery storage systems sized to meet their homes’ needs.
San Francisco has the reputation of being one most expensive cities in the world for construction, due in large part to a fragmented and overly burdensome permitting process required to navigate SFDBI and SFFD codes and interpretations. These unnecessary hurdles create significant financial barriers, preventing many residents from accessing clean energy and reliable backup power during outages.
As a San Francisco based installer with over 22 years of experience, Luminalt has remained actively engaged in advocacy and education—working with City officials to ensure solar and battery systems are regulated safely and thoughtfully, in support of California’s clean energy goals rather than in opposition to them.
