Yes, by installing these money saving-devices in your home you can get money back from the government! Why;what's in it for them?The government are very aware they need to do something to cut the amount of pollution, cut the carbon emissions; and they have a limited time in which to do it. You will be helping them - and to encourage you to take the plunge and start using cleaner economical fuels, the government will give you a grant, since it benefits them also.Two governments which have done very well in encouraging green energy use are Japan and Germany. The manufacture and installation of solar panels means a busy workforce, and these are popular because of the cash incentives that go along with it.Grants and rebates are a common source of incentive, meaning the initial cost of the installation is reduced. Some governments provide low cost or even no cost loans so the time in which it takes to break even is reduced.One of the most interesting ways that governments have of incentivising solar panels(in fact any renewable energy source) is by buying back the electricity that is not used. There is also a rebate on the electricity that is used. The government actually pays more than the cost of the electricity, and it varies from state to state. This is known as feed in tariffs.It is a great way to profit from the government!Of course, since these government incentives differ from state to state, there is more information to be found at federal level.
