Solar energy gift

In the American capital is rapidly gaining popularity, the installation of solar panels on the roofs of houses. Moreover, new technology is available not only to wealthy citizens who can afford quite expensive equipment. In the houses of the poor inhabitants panels are installed completely free of charge. To solar power to move entire neighborhoods.





Quarter euphonious name of the "Southern homes and gardens" in the South-East of Washington is considered dysfunctional. White citizens come here rarely, and the population, mostly blacks, very low income. And it is amazing to see on a typical two-storey townhouses brand new solar panels.

Solar panels the residents of the quarter put at the expense of the municipality of Washington. Conditions of participation in the city program – income must not exceed 50 thousand dollars for a family of 3 people or 60 thousand for four.

While the business of installation of solar panels in Washington are just being formed. The evaluation of Atta Kirasa this year in the American capital will be installed only 1200 systems. In California, for example, to order more. But demand is growing. 30% per year across the country, but in Washington he could double next year.

The program is funded from payments by companies that pollute the environment. And expenses current should lead to multi-million dollar savings in the future. City hall will not have to spend money on subsidies on utility bills for poor families, expensive electricity and restore the environment. Plus new jobs and innovative technologies. Here is the Sunny future.

In addition, the capital needs to start a project to incorporate such panels in roofs of municipal and even Federal buildings. And it will turn the city into the most environmentally friendly solar power. published
