Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Financing Authority board has voted to borrow $30 million to get the long-delayed Sunshine Program into motion.The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Sunshine Program was enacted in July 2008 as part of the state's Alternative Energy Funding Act. Under the program, businesses and homeowners can receive 35% rebates to cover the cost of purchasing solar power systems. Applications for the program are expected to be available by the end of the month."We think this is the front edge of a huge development of renewable energy in Pennsylvania," says Dan Griffiths, deputy secretary at the Department of Environmental Protection, which will administer the program.
