Xcel Energy Says $1 Million in Solar Panels Installed Under New Program

Xcel Energy said the Solar Rewards rebate program has spent more than $1 million on solar panels for 90 homes and businesses, the Denver Business Journal reported. The Public Service Company of Colorado CEO Pat Vincent was quoted by the newspaper as saying: "We knew that customers were looking forward to the new Solar Rewards program in Colorado, but the response has been more than we could have hoped for to this point."
Denver Business Journal , Aug. 24.

"[T]he response [by consumers to solar energy] has been more than we could have hoped for to this point." I think consumers are eager to take steps to improve the environment. I think there's a shitload of money to be made by companies that sell products and services that help consumers to do that. And getting your energy provider to give you a rebate for taking sensible steps to improve the environment makes it even sweeter. Check out the webpage for your electricity company. More and more of them are providing, rebates, low-cost loans, and guaranteed buy-back of extra energy.
