Eligible for State or Federal Energy Efficiency Incentives?

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Today's consumer is more environmentally conscious than ever before. Even so, most of them are unaware that their good deeds could be rewarded with state and government incentives and/or rebates.

So, whether you are Photovoltaic Systems Installation professional or a Weatherization and Energy Efficiency professional, one thing is for sure - if you are employed in the renewable energy or energy efficiency sectors, part of your job will be consumer education.

Luckily, there is a comprehensive Web site that lists these incentives - The Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE). This Web site will allow you to search two different databases (renewable energy and energy efficiency) by state.

Once you select your state, you can narrow your search even further - by federal, residential and more. Additional search options include summary maps, summary tables, a library, glossary and more.

As a green professional in the renewable and energy efficiency sectors, being up-to-date and understanding which incentives pertain to the areas you serve can be beneficial to your career. For example, why not educate potential clients with direct mail campaigns or host a community, family-focused event?

The goal is to enlighten potential clients and show them how even the simplest energy saving efforts may result in not only recurring yearly savings, but attractive incentives. And it's your expertise they will need to make it happen.

Help others benefit from these valuable incentives and you just might become the go-to energy expert in your community.
