National rebate program would deployphotovoltaic and solar hot water, create tens of thousands of
jobs
WASHINGTON, DC - The
Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today applauded
introduction of the 10 Million Solar Roofs and 10 Million
Gallons of Solar Water Heating Act of 2010.
This bill, modeled on California’s
Million Solar Roofs initiative, would deploy photovoltaic solar
panels on 10 million rooftops nationwide and increase the capacity
of solar hot water by 10 million gallons over the course of the
next 10 years.

SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch
said “Passing this bill would create the world’s largest
market for solar energy here in the U.S. and bring with it tens
of thousands of manufacturing and installation jobs in all 50
states. This bill will help lift the U.S. economy at a time
when we need it most. The solar industry is ready now to step
up to meet the challenge ….”

The 10 Million Solar Roofs and 10
Million Gallons of Solar Hot Water Act would provide rebates
to residential and commercial property owners to install
photovoltaic and solar hot water heating systems.
These rebates would help overcome initial cost barriers that have
slowed widespread solar adoption, despite 92 percent of the
American public agreeing that it is important for the nation to
develop and use solar energy.
