On February 26, 2013, WFMZ-TV Channel 69 News interviewed Renu Building & Energy Solutions‘ Brian Baker, Co-Owner | Director of Marketing & Design, regarding the return of state funding in the Pennsylvania Sunshine Rebate Program.  While funds are still available, homeowners and business owners in PA can receive a rebate for up $0.75 per watt of installed solar photovoltaic (PV) up to 10 kW (10,000 watts) and 35% of the total cost of a solar hot water installation.  Further good news is that this rebate is in addition to the available federal incentive – 30% tax credit on the cost of the entire installation.  To watch the segment, please click here.
