There are a couple useful websites I'm aware off, that I would like to share with you 1. www.dsireusa.org - is a comprehensive source of information on state, local , utility ans federal incentives that promote renewable engery ans energy efficieny. 2. www.powerpartnerssolar.com - one of the many manufacturers of certified Solar Water Heating Systems available. One place I saw the light weight panels and trim color options I was mentioning earlier. Lastly, the local utilites in some areas also provide additional rebates and incentives for adding a Solar Water Heating Sytem to your exisitng water tank. Keep the look out on.

According to <a href="http://www.chooserenewables.com/estimator_start.php" rel="nofollow">Choose Renewables</a> there aren't any incentives for wind/solar in the area. On the other hand, there seem to be a lot of rebates for geothermal heat pumps, so that might be worth looking into. I have no idea how much those cost, though. We use Duke Energy.

I used to work for the <a href="http://www.dsireusa.org" rel="nofollow">DSIRE Project</a> at the NC solar center, which tracks incentives to renewable energy and energy efficiency at the state, local and utility levels. Maybe there's a rebate out there if you were to install a system like this - it would be exempt from property tax ;) Which utility are you on?
