Facts about Solar

January 31, 2019

Solar power is the cleanest energy source. There are no harmful emissions, toxic byproducts, or noise associated with the operation of a solar farm. Solar power results in fewer cases of respiratory and cardiovascular problems as compared to other energy sources that release toxic emmisions.

Solar and Energy Loan Fund

The Solar and Energy Loan Fund (SELF), which administers the Clean Energy Loan Program, provides energy expertise and favorable financing to help property owners (residential and commercial) identify and make cost-effective energy retrofits, including: energy conservation; energy efficiency; and, renewable energy alternatives (e.g., solar). SELF clients are reducing their energy consumption by an average of 24% and using the energy savings to help pay off the loans over time. Rebates and tax credits may also apply to many of the 25 energy savings products financed through the Clean Energy Loan Program. SELF clients are also increasing their home equity, market value, and overall quality of life.
