In honor of Solar Energy Week, FirstAgain is encouraging consumers with excellent credit to seek solar financing while leveraging tax credits on solar installation projects. On October 3, Congress approved a bill that extends the Federal 30 percent tax credit for solar but also removes the $2,000 cap that existed on the previous residential tax credit, making it an ideal time to fund larger solar and environmentally-friendly home improvement projects.

News Facts:

1. Solar Energy Week (October 12th-18th) is sponsored by the California Center for Sustainable Energy. It coincides with Solar Power International '08, which takes place in San Diego on October 13th-16th.
