Solar Tax Grant Forms Available Here

Those contemplating solar power for home or business and want to take the 30% tax credit as a grant can now apply. The grant is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 passed in February. Solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower and (unfortunately) nuclear are eligible projects. The program is funded with $85 billion but this could go quickly if a few nuclear projects take the grant. The simple three-page grant application becomes available tomorrow from the Treasury Department but the grant application, grant program terms and grant guidance document--all PDFs--are available here. If interested, request the three documents by emailing: dbrands@cox.net.

Special thanks to my solar colleague in Phoenix, Dan Hoskin, for getting these docs to Solar Advice for Free.
