Solar Electric Power
Great News! If you want to reduce your electric bills and provide your own home with clean solar power, thereby reducing the amount of power you need from potentially not so clean sources, Austin Energy will provide a huge incentive in the form of a rebate that can cover the majority of the cost. Austin Energy increased the amount of the rebate, which currently goes through the year 2008. But don’t wait, it can take some time to go through the necessary channels to get the rebate and the solar power system installed.
Companies that provide solar electric (PV) power components and installation:
Texas Solar Power Company - they installed solar panels on my home in Nov., 2007. They did an excellent job and we've been pleased so far.
