Solar Residential Power

I'm looking at a start up specializing in installing PV solar systems. What are the current federal tax incentives for them.
I'm not looking for any political BS. I'm a Republican and am willing to invest my $$ in it. I think that makes me a...

Federal incentives for residential solar electric systems is 30% to a max of $2000. Business incentives are 30% and from my understanding no top limit.

Go to this site and click on your state. For all incentives avalable in your...

Solar hot water or photovoltaic.
Lots of homes have solar power to assist what is already there. It doesn't take a lot to have water hot enough to do a bowl of washing-up / have a bath.
Technology for photovoltaic is going to improve...

Has anyone seen this on Maui? We plan to move there and want to reduce our dependence on the grid. The wind speed of the Hawaiian islands is approx. 10% higher than the avg. on the mainland.

Any feedback is appreciated.

You will need a large piece of land or acreage if you plan on installing a wind turbine as most jurisdictions have restrictions. However, Hawaii may be the exception. I inquired about one on my property a while ago and the installation cost was...
