A simple inexpensive solar system is a great source of back-up energy when power is unavailable due to storms or outages and requires no gasoline or noisy generator.

South Florida seems an obvious place to take advantage of solar power, but few are doing so in practice.  This program demystifies the technology and makes clear the best ways to utilize solar, how to design various sized systems, how to make a solar installation accessible and affordable, and finally, how to apply for permitting, select approved systems, and obtain available rebates.
