New Solar Incentives Website

DSIRE, the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy, has released a new incentives website devoted to solar energy.  This new website can be found at www.dsireusa.org/solar and includes:

• Interactive Solar Map:  Allows quick access to solar incentives and policies in effect in each U.S. state and territory.
• Solar Policy Comparison Tables:  Detail individual elements of solar rebates and tax credits to facilitate comparison among state programs. These tables may be downloaded as spreadsheets.
• Solar Policy Guide:  Describes and provides examples of different types of solar policies adopted by state and local governments. This guide also addresses current policy trends.
• Solar Policy Summary Maps:  Provide a geographical overview of the availability of certain types of solar incentives and policies. These maps may be downloaded as .ppt or .jpg files.
• Search Tool:  Allows users to search the DSIRE Solar database by several different criteria (e.g., technology, policy type, eligible sector) to create customized lists of solar incentives and policies.
