How is the Solar Creek pilot demonstration being funded?
A. Solar CREEK has enlisted a local business partner who will pay for the equipment and installation. Through the use of state and federal tax incentives, the Oregon Energy Trust, power sold to the utility grid, and donations from the community, the business partner will be reimbursed for the entire cost of the systems. Due to the state and federal subsidies for implementing solar technology, for every dollar donated by citizens, government funding will match it with three.
