PA Sunshine Program
The PA Sunshine Program for Solar PV IS OPEN to recieve grant applications. The solar thermal portion of the program is expected to open by the end of the week of May 18th. Created to help small businesses and homeowners install solar PV or solar thermal units, funding will be distributed in the form of rebates. Applications cannot be filled out by the homeowner or small business; they must choose from a list of approved contractors who will fill out the application for a specific project. $100 million has been made available throught the Commonwealth as well as through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
