Where does solar incentive money come from?
Despite its free fuel source, and long term financial benefits, solar energy is still expensive in the short term because of the capital required to develop the system. The federal government and many state and local governments provide incentives for solar energy to make it more affordable. At the state or utility level, these funds usually come from small charges that are approved by the state legislature or public utilities commission and added to all rate-payers’ bills.
