Florida Solar Rebate Program New Life? (out of money for now)

http://www.flanews.com/?p=9539

The governor�s anticipated calling of as special session to ban oil drilling and create tax incentives for utility companies to develop renewable energy� could also revive a rebate program for solar. A fund to pay Floridians who put solar panels on their homes has run dry. 8-thousand Floridians are still owed money. Governor Charlie Crist says it�s possible a special session could help them get paid.

The rebate program was inadequately funded for two years, state lawmakers left the rebates out of next years budget.

<really not much more>

2. There is no money left but they are still receiving applications.

We will be installing our solar panels is a few weeks and we are still counting with at least 10,000 of the 20,000 promised by the state.
