The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of February 2009 made a major improvement in the solar tax credit program for commercial installations. The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 30% of the total cost of the installation of a solar system remains unchanged for the next seven years. But now, a business owner can elect to receive a cash payment from the Department of Treasury in lieu of the ITC.

On Clark Howard's show on CNN & HLN, he did a piece last week about installing a solar thermal system in his home in Atlanta for JUST heating his domestic water. He paid $12,000.00 for it. He got two cheap, Chinese flat-plate collectors. I did notice that the solar company installed the most expensive tanks, controls, etc. They had to have sold the equipment to him at more than double the

I grew up in a family with five children. We didn't have much. Popcorn and Kool-Aid were the only treats we could afford. There was always a discussion among us children as to which flavor of Kool-Aid we should choose. If some wanted grape and others wanted cherry, my mother would have us vote for the flavor. "OK," she would say, " Three for grape and two for cherry. The majority rules--so grape

Joe Pasalodos, Aug 04 15:13 (PDT):On May 5, 2010, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac released statements to the banking community on PACE programs, indicating that Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mortgages must retain their first lien position. These letters caused confusion and concern that PACE participants may be ineligible for conforming mortgages. The FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Authority), which regulates

An innovative new program to finance renewable energy retrofits for homes and businesses is in development in New Mexico. Called Property-Assessed Clean Energy or PACE, the program gives people the opportunity to install Solar Thermal, Solar Photovoltaic, geothermal systems or wind generators with little or no upfront costs and at a low interest rate. PACE has been successfully implemented in

OIL SPILL HAS WOMEN THINKING ABOUT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY The BP oil spill in the Gulf brings to mind an old Cuban saying that goes: "The good thing about this situation is how bad it is." The oil spill disaster has got a lot more people thinking the way we have all along, which is that we need to reduce our usage of fossil fuels. They are dangerous! We are getting more calls for information

Barbara from Los Cerrillos, NM contacted us in January with a request to purchase 4 Evacuated Tube Collectors to assist with heating her 2000 square foot, radiant heated home and her indoor swimming pool. She is using propane to heat both her home and the swimming pool and her heating costs are huge! Barbara had some of her own ideas on how to make only 4 solar collectors work for her--she is an
