FEDERAL TAX CREDITS

Solar Tax Credits from the Federal goverment currently stand to run out in 2008. ($2000 Federal Tax Credit for individuals, 30% for commercial customers.)  There is some movement to introduce bills but generally they are tied to other bills that face little hope for passage.  Call and encourage your Federal representatives to pass legislation that can make a difference!

PENNSYLVANIA

Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard for a solar program in Pennsylvania!  Harrisburg has passed an energy initiative for the state that includes $100 million for solar rebates for home owners and businesses.  The details of the rebate program will be worked out in the near future.  The amount of the actual rebate and the qualifiying details are unknown at this time.  We will update this information as soon as it becomes available.
