Using solar energy systems to provide heat and electricity for the nation s buildings helps to conserve our fossil fuel resources and reduce our reliance on imported fuels. Because solar energy systems do not emit harmful pollutants, they also help protect the environment.

This guide also includes information about other ways to make solar energy systems more affordable, as well as descriptions of special mortgage programs for energy-efficient homes. Although the sun s energy is free, special equipment is needed to convert it to electricity or heat for a building. The up-front costs of this equipment can be daunting to consumers and a barrier to new purchases. Therefore, this guide was prepared to show how today s solar energy systems can be affordably financed. The quick-reference chart has summaries of the programs administered by these organizations. Following the chart are brief descriptions of today s solar systems and more detailed descriptions of the financing programs. The glossary at the end of this guide contains definitions of some of the special solar energy and financing terms used here. The second edition of this guide includes updates on several of the financing resources summarized here. It also includes some additional sources of information.
