We are nearing completion of our own home NW of Fort Worth. We were able to roll the cost of the 2-1350W Wattsun trackers into the mortgage payment. Though we were not able to qualify for anything more than the 30% tax credit, the amoratized cost will more than offset the non-rebate available just across the road in the next county and in the utility rebate service area. As for federal stimulis money that may be available, the State Energy Conservation Office has not announced who will be qualified to receive a portion of that money. I'm not holding my breath....

In Ohio there is a grant program that gives $3.00 / Watt toward residential systems. Eligible installers must be approved by the state, and funds are allotted to the installer. In this years program, there is a "conflict of interest" clause which says that installers, employees of installers and subcontractors of installers are not eligible for any grant funding from the grant received by the installer. It is likely that installers can hire their competition to do installations. Do other states have this conflict of interest clause?
