And then the Obama 2009 Stimulus Plan made it even better! Not only do these policies help homeowners justify the cost of installing a PV or solar water heating system, but it gives the industry the confidence to grow and expand. This is so important for bringing the cost of solar down. I'm also glad to see more state policymakers jumping on board as well. Great article showing how these solar-friendly policies can help homeowners, companies, and the economy in general.

We're starting up in solar, and despite the gloomy landscape, still feel quite positive about the next few years. Being "on the right side of history" has a certain lift to the spirit. Kind of like Bill Murray in Caddyshack - "we've got that going for us... which is nice". Well said.
