Jacksonville's solar stimulus funding cloudy
The Northeast Florida solar industry is still waiting for the federal government to flip the switch on promised incentives and loans for $3 billion worth of work nationwide.
The 30 percent cash incentive for renewable energy projects and loan guarantees for such projects and manufacturing are part of the alternative-energy-focused $787 billion stimulus package. The $3 billion is expected to support about 5,000 renewable energy projects nationwide.
But as some smaller solar companies begin to wither due to the recession, the government has yet to accept applications for the incentives and loans.
