It has significant lowered the cost of the building permits and encouraged installation of photovoltaic systems big and small.

In 2012, the City of Antioch was able to partner with Rising Sun Energy Center to bring the California Youth Energy Service to Antioch. This program hires youth ages 15-22 and trains them to conduct green Home Site visits. At these visits, they provide and install energy efficiency materials such as CFLs, clotheslines, showerheads and faucet aerators and pipe installation. We hope to continue this project and include addtional climate impact education in the outreach efforts for the program as well as providing information during the actual home visits. This program will reach over 300 residents in their homes and approximately 3,000 through outreach tabling events.
