Energy and Environment 
As part of  Consumer Energy Alliance's  (CEA) Solar Energy Future campaign, the organization yesterday released a new report, " Incentivizing Solar Energy: An In-Depth Analysis of U.S. Solar Incentives ," that provides a comprehensive quantification of solar incentives available for U.S. energy consumers. The report analyzes the cost for a typical solar facility in 15 states and details the federal, state, and local incentives available for rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV). No previous analysis has ever quantified this data.
 
Among the report's key findings: 
existing incentives for residential solar PV are significant; t hird party-owned solar PV facilities receive significant incentives; and e xisting incentives may change the economics of future investments in solar.   Learn more

Join the Value of Water Coalition, Infrastructure Week and many companies and organizations on September 15, 2016 as we raise awareness and educate America about the value of water. Sign up now
