A Look at Solar Energy

Devember 9, 2006

Back in the 1980's, there was a push for new homes to have solar heated hot water tanks.
Bit by bit, the incentives disappeared and most homes came equiped with a standard gas powered hot water system. However, it seems that both the Federal and California state governments revisited the solar energy issue. New incentive programs were enacted and are available to homeowners until December 31, 2007. The equipment must be put into use from January 2006 until the December 31, 2007 deadline.

There is a rebate program in the state of California and a tax credit program from the federal government. To find out more details you can go to this web address: www.consumerenergycenter.org. The site offers a good Frequently Asked Questions section which is helpful to those who want to participate in the "green" revolution.
