Tennessee to use Stimulus Money for Solar

Tennessee is moving forward with using $62 million of federal stimulus money to fund solar projects. These projects include a solar generation plant and a solar research lab at the University of Tennessee. This will help Tennessee to push solar development through marketing for renewable energy.

The solar plant will cover 20 acres and will power 700 homes. The plant will feature a an educational section which will teach homeowners the benefits of solar. The plant sits next to a 1,700 ache site owned by Tennessee. By installing solar on the 20 acre site, the state is attempting to make it easier for private investors to install solar on the 1,700 acre site.

Once again, we see the federal and state governments stepping up to educate the public about the benefits of solar.
