Connecticut Offers $1.8 Million in Solar Power Rebates
The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) announced on October 4th that it
is offering rebates on solar power systems to cut in half the cost of
installing them. The CCEF has $1.8 million available for solar power
rebates, which can go as high as $25,000 per home. See the CCEF
press release.
CCEF is also funding Proton Energy Systems, Inc. to design and build a
5-kilowatt regenerative fuel cell for a telecommunications site in
southwestern Connecticut, where it will be operated as a demonstration
project for two years. Regenerative fuel cells store energy from the
power grid by converting electricity into hydrogen, then convert that
hydrogen back into electricity to provide emergency power when the
electrical grid is unavailable. See the press release from Proton
Energy's parent company, Distributed Energy Systems Corporation.
