CaliforniaFIRST
CaliforniaFIRST is a program in development by the California Communities, Renewable Funding, and RBC Capital Markets.  California Communities will create an assessment district, authorized by AB 811, whereby commercial and residential property owners can finance 100% of the upfront capital costs of clean energy projects and repay the amount financed on their property tax bill over 20 years.  Property owners select the type of projects they wish to install and program participation is voluntary.  Cities and counties must adopt a resolution to “opt in” to the CaliforniaFIRST program for their residents and businesses to have access to this financing.
