http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/05/22/rebate_heats_up_interest/The two solar panels atop Liz Augustine's Maynard home connect to a pipe that twists down through her roof and feeds into a hot-water tank buried inside her garage.
The solar panels program is part of an effort by the governor to make Massachusetts a national leader in clean energies.
The system produces less hot water in the winter than it does in the summer, but Augustine still rates it better than the home's previous system, which was on the verge of a breakdown last year.
"We knew we were going to spend a significant amount of money to replace it," said Augustine. "We spent a little bit more money and got solar instead."
