Grant Support for Clean-Energy Projects?

I received a forward today about potential support for non-profits, etc. to help offset costs of solar installation:

Non-profits, municipalities and government buildings rarely get incentives for solar since they don’t pay taxes, but here is a real opportunity. I’m trying to inform as many people as I can since there is a deadline of Mar. 30 and folks may need help with some of the application wrt typical cost of systems, suitable candidates for roof or ground-mount systems, emissions reductions, etc. http://www.tn.gov/environment/energygrants/

 

The grant isn’t helpful for residential, but businesses CAN apply.  It appears to be a good one.  It is matching, but the ratios vary from 50/50 to 80/20.  It’s merit-based rather than first-come, first-served so we have a better chance at getting some of that money into NE TN than we had with the TN Solar Institute monies.  Max amount is $250,000.  Buzz me if you know anyone who would like to consider applying for the grant in order to finance solar.  (It can actually be used for other clean-energy-related projects. ) Combining the grant and the TVA Generation Partners income on kilowatt-hours produced, it starts looking like a viable option for entities that could not otherwise consider a solar system.
