In the March 2009 EDC Magazine an article was written about the technological advances that make solar energy more alluring. We found the article very interesting, and we're hoping you will too.

In the United States, for example, state and federal capital rebates help a homeowner ease the cost of installing a photovoltaic system. In Canada, feed-in tariffs mean utilities purchase solar energy from an individual homeowner at a higher rate than the homeowner would pay for grid electricity, which provides an incentive for homeowners to install photovoltaic systems."
