Also, there is proposed legislation in MD to create solar thermal “utilities” http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/bills/sb/sb0677f.pdf.

Comment on Third-Party Financing Can Make SHC Installations Easier by Chris Williams

Seth,

Great piece. SEPA just came out with a report on SHW third party financing that was AMAZING. I’ll email it to you. I just wrote a review of the report similar to this article for REW.

Plumbers all across the US have a perfect opportunity to make a bundle installing SWH’s; if they would only realize this.

Most important is the fact that plumbers are in the best position to make consumers aware of the existence of the other solar. Thermal..
