The financial realities of adding solar power to our homes and businesses will be the topic of a forum sponsored by SEEDS at the Park Street Complex in Honesdale on Tuesday, October 20^th from 7 to 9 PM.Martin Young of Gravity Sun Power located in Honesdale, will explain system components and costs, state rebates, federal tax incentives, income sources, energy credits, and projected returns on investments.

There will also be information from local banks and zoning officers about zoning regulations, loans, mortgages, and property values as they relate to solar installations.

Mr. Young took advantage of a SEEDS-sponsored course on solar installation, and went on for further training to become a state-certified solar installer. He is currently installing several photovoltaic systems in the area.
