Introduction to Rebate Programs and Net Metering

I live in northwest Indiana and recently designed, permitted and installed a 3 kW PV solar panel system at my residence.  As I learn more, the plan is to expand the system to 5 - 6 kW generating capacity.

The system is grid-tied to the local utility and I have entered a Net Metering Agreement for the return of excess electricity to the grid.

I am seeking kindred souls to further the cause in this neck of the woods.

There is ground shaking alternate energy tax credit legislation currently being contemplated and the local utility has requested a 16% plus rate increase.

Any interest out there?

Thanks,

Dale
