I see in the news this morning this interesting tidbit
Well dandy. Not sure exactly how this can be achieved since your average low income household likely lacks a electrically knowledgeable individual to install or operate PV. Than there is the fact that many lower income folks do not own their dwelling and it might be an apartment or some other mass housing where no space for solar exists. Rural low income folks may be an exception but typically such government handouts are geared to the urban populations.
Strange since as a low income person I can't get a tax refund on solar. This latest giveaway also brings into question of is it only for grid tie setups? That would be a problem for the utility companies to deal with. Many already are trying their best to avoid more interconnect agreements.
At any rate maybe it will be like the government free cheese giveaway back in the 80'S Anyone that wanted to could go pick up some government free cheese. Free solar panels would be nice.
April 22 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Monday will celebrate Earth Day by announcing $7 billion in grants for residential solar projects that will power nearly a million low-income households, the White House said.
