At Last...Solar For Everyone

Solar Cash rebates for all Colorado residents including Grand Valley Power (GVP) members will be available in early 2010. Thank you, Santa! The state of Colorado has just announced details of the much anticipated program. Business owners are eligible for a $15,000 cash rebate and homeowners are eligible for $4,500 cash. Yes, free money.

The rebates are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis and the amount of money is limited. So, if you, like me, are a GVP member and have been waiting for this opportunity to greatly reduce the cost of owning your own clean energy source, be sure to call Atlasta Solar right away to start the rebate application process.

Each rebate recipient is required to complete a brief energy audit for the property. Free energy audits are available from Atlasta Solar. (See coupon below.)

Still don't think you can afford to own your own system, even after tax credits and cash rebates? Call 248-0057 for other financing opportunities coming in 2010.

Happy Holidays from Atlasta Solar!

Pitkin County debates solar-power proposal

Pitkin County debates solar-power proposal

ASPEN, Colo. — Pitkin County, known for its environmental friendliness, is debating how high freestanding solar panels should be built.

A staff recommendation to change the height limit to 16 feet from 10 feet off the ground died on a 2-2 vote Wednesday when the push for renewable energy collided with preserving the mountain community's rural character.

The staff is expected to make another proposal.

Commissioner George Newman says expanding renewable energy is commendable, but the county should address the impacts of facilities on neighborhoods. He says some homeowners are bothered by glare from neighboring solar panels.

But Commissioner Patti Kay-Clapper says defeating the proposal sends the wrong message after county voters approved a district allowing people to take out low-interest loans to install renewable energy systems.
