1. City of Atlanta, GA

The paper discusses the feasibility of the city of Atlanta's selling, leasing, or otherwise assisting with the financing of solar water heaters. Analyses were made of the programs in other cities. Solar system costs and potential utility savings were determined, and the net savings and payback for a number of financing plans were calculated. A selection of a proposed plan for the city was made, and the resulting total program costs, implementation methods, and impact were determined. The potential problems of sun rights as applicable to the city were evaluated. The city of Atlanta has a situation common to many American cities in that it does not have a utility to provide long term financing.
