How The Government Is Helping Consumers Take Advantage Of Solar Power
Faced with energy and natural resource crises, the U.S. government got on the solar energy bandwagon twenty years after the technology became popular with residential and commercial customers across the nation. In 2009, Congress passed the Solar Technology Roadmap Act, which contributes millions to the research and development of solar technology as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Although 2015 sees the final increase and year for the funds to aid researchers in the pursuit of solar powered everything, there are other grants and resources to help consumers take advantage of solar power in their homes and businesses.
