This is really a great news! The government is really doing it part in saving our environment. As everybody knows, climate change is worsening every day. Using solar power is one of the best ideas the government had. Not only it will help them in terms of financial matter, But the best part is that it will help save our environment.

Thank you so much for the comment! Sollr power is good stuff, and I hope we can harness it more. Also, living in Cleveland, we have this very shallow, and WINDY lake. Wind power is another avenue being explored.

I love solar power I think over the next few years it's going to be exploding even more... as performance of solar panels goes up people are going to be adopting it everywhere they can... after all it's free energy :)

Some things I'm looking forward to are more efficient solar panels, about 5 years from now when I buy my house I want to make sure I can power the entire house and my plugin hybrid all on solar power... I'm also hoping that solar paint will finally be in customers hands... having your entire house generate so much electricity and maybe even being able to sell it back to the grid would be amazing...

BTW here is more great Solar Power(http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/category/alternative-energy/solar/) information, there is quite a few amazing new solar projects being done right now... it's really great to see so much focus on alternative energy.

Hi Ian,
This is a very young concept, so I don't know anyone doing it internationally, yet. You may try Franchisedirect.com.

Thank you for your comment, Mark.
I am also wary of these types of franchises. I don't however, feel at this time that they are intentionally "pulling at the heartstrings" of folks who want to help out our environment.
We shall see how this model develops.

Actually franchising solar outlets although very politically and environmentally correct will be a very tough and long road. There are several well heeled (and public) companies in this space, specifically Akeena Solar and others. Also, there are only a few states which really give purchasers of solar systems the tax breaks required to make the payback over time reasonable. I would be wary of a company that is just trying to pull on the heart strings of people who want to something good with the environment but really are not in a position to compete with well established and well funded companies in this space. Comments welcome.

I am living in South-Africa,we are currently experiencing a huge energy crisis in the country.The time for clean renewable energy in South-Africa is now.I want to start a solar power business.Solar Power in South-Africa is the way forward!!

Yes Carole...pretty cool stuff! Being the skeptic that I am, I would like to wait and see how it goes in Ca. But, it could sure help our local energy dependence, huh?
Joel Libava

Carole Cohen

:-) Awesome Joel. I mean, over the top awesome.
The local energy utilities will actually buy back any extra solar power you are generating from your home or business! - omg this is even better. Could NE Ohio actually find a niche here? I dare to dream.
