Solar Incentives Rate

Solar incentives are one reason why many people wait to go solar, hoping the incentives will get better with time.

Solar incentive programs, however, are uneven and at risk of coming to a halt. We face looming deadlines for the expiration of some key solar incentives, and other programs—such as loan guarantee support—are being reduced by Congress.

Think of solar incentives like locking in a mortgage interest rate, if you can get a fair return, take it. 

The more you delay, the more energy prices will increase to cause conflict and devastation.

Solar Energy Embraced by Public Schools

Solar energy is being embraced by home and business owners. Also embracing the financial and environmental benefits, entire school districts are on the brink of incorporating solar energy.

Solar energy is under development in the Green Valley and Gila Bend School Districts in Arizona. The solar technology will be used to teach students about solar energy.

The projects are estimated to provide more than 2.5 megawatts of solar energy—enough to power 2,000 homes or to offset the carbon emissions of 550 passenger vehicles.

Solar Incentives Seen Throughout the Country

Solar incentives continually lure home and business owners into going solar, and grants offered by Snohomish County in Washington make the change ever more lucrative.

Solar incentives offered at federal, state, and local levels help reduce the cost of installing solar panels at home and businesses.

For example, an orthodontist in the county paid $40,000 to have solar panels cover his business. He received $11,000 from the federal government and $3,700 from the county to save 37%. Including the value paid for excess solar energy, he will receive a risk-free, non-volatile 14% return on his investment.  Where can you do better?

Commercial Solar Technologies Enhance Energy Storage

Commercial solar will begin to see the next solar technologies aimed at helping their businesses run more powerfully. The integration of energy storage systems with existing PV systems will help commercial solar buildings to be as efficient as possible.

Commercial solar benefits from overnight storage capacity to help manage increasing electrical demand with day-time solar energy production. The new energy storage system can recharge during off-peak hours and store up to 1.5 megawatts of energy to use when the sun goes down.

Solar Energy: U.S. Sees Red as Investments go to China

Solar energy is finding its niche in China and the world’s biggest energy consumer is going green too.

Solar energy in China beats out the US, Germany, and India as the top spot for solar energy investment. With the benefits of capital, government determination, and a massive consumer market, China might be able to hold the top spot for awhile as it tries to generate 15% of its electricity from renewable sources in the next decade.

Solar Energy: The Next Big Bubble or Bust will tell you why our children should be worried.

Solar Training Being Pushed by Labor Department Amidst Unemployment

Solar training is being pushed by the Department of Labor as they believe the jobs of the future involve high-growth industries such as energy efficiency and renewable energy. Solar training, along with training in other fields such as wind and biofuels, will provide the knowledge and experience workers need to transition into the careers of the future.

The department’s focus on solar training and other clean energies will make the U.S. a world leader in sustainable energy, reduce our foreign dependence on oil, and create thousands of new jobs.

You can learn more about solar training here.

Solar Power Moves Ahead in California

Solar power continues to expand its presence as the California Commission gave the go-ahead for a 250-megawatt solar-thermal project.

 

The Beacon Solar Energy project will rely on rows of curved mirrors that will collect solar power from the sun and heat tubes filled with fluid to help run a steam turbine generator.

 

It appealed for the most part to environmentalists who frown upon solar power projects that ruin pristine habitats because the 2,012-acre site sits on land previously used for farming.

 

Developer NextEra Energy Resources further appeased environmentalists with its decision to use recycled municipal water rather than groundwater for the roughly 456 million gallons needed annually for the plant's wet-cooling process.

 

The race for solar projects in California comes as the state's three investor-owned utilities face a deadline to obtain 20 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by the end of 2010, also when federal incentives for such renewable projects are set to expire.

 

The Blythe Solar Power Project in southeast California -- expected to produce 1,000 megawatts -- is just one of several projects in the state that BLM has tagged on its "fast-track" permitting schedule in an effort to meet the year-end deadline for federal incentives. Read more about California solar power projects here.
