"Gee, I would like to make my home more energy efficient...but the cost is just too much."
"Putting in a solar system is a good idea, but unaffordable."
"By utilizing local incentives, I found it was well within my budget to build a Green Home."
These statements are being heard more often nowadays - with the shock of rising energy costs, increasing awareness of sustainable living and other reasons, Renewable Energy & Efficient Buildings are starting to become a reality instead of a dream. There are federal, state and local programs to help offset the expense.
Where can one find out more about the available incentives in a particular location? One website can be a great place to start: Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) 
Established in 1995 and funded by the US Dept. of Energy, the database is updated & maintained by the North Carolina Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC).
Just click on your state, and you're on your way! See, wasn't that easy?
