Illinois Solar Tour & New Residential Tax Credits

Interested in residential solar energy systems?  Well then, you are in luck!

On October 4th from 10AM – 3PM the Illinois Solar Energy Association (ISEA) will be having their 2008 Illinois Solar tour.  There will be over 200 homes involved statewide.  To find out more information CLICK HERE to visit their website.

Also, yes there is more, Congress is hopefully about to pass an expanded federal tax credit for residential homes who install a solar power system.  The new credit would cover 30% of the systems cost.  CLICK HERE to read an article in today’s Chicago Tribune and keep your fingers crossed.
