where is website for solor energy grants?

We Answered:

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.

Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.

On CFDA, here are some grants that cover solar energy. Check if they are applicable to you:

10.775 - Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO…

81.087 Renewable Energy Research and Development
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO…

81.119 - State Energy Program Special Projects
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALO…

Where can I find a grant to assist with the instillation of solar or windmill energy?

We Answered:

Check the database of state incentives for renewables and efficiency at http://dsireusa.org/ There is info here for incentives at the local, state and federal level. I have also been looking for grants, but have found that most of the incentives and/or grants are for businesses and we do not qualify. I would be happy to email to you all the website urls that I have, please email me if you want those.
