Article: Governor Rendell Says PA's Solar Capacity Doubles Under Sunshine Solar Rebate Program.

Governor Edward G. Rendell said that the new PA Sunshine Solar Program is performing better than expected and has helped to double the state's solar generating capacity in less than 6 months.

According to the Department of Environmental Protection, the program has reached its first incentive milestone for small business rebates -- the deployment of 5 megawatts of solar power, or enough to supply electricity to about 575 average homes in the state.

The Governor said achieving the goal is good news for those small businesses interested in lowering their electricity costs through clean, renewable energy, and also for Pennsylvania's environment and economy.
