[...] Municipal financing is the nectar of the solar financing gods. Period. It allows you to get your solar through your city. No home equity worries.Decent interest rate. 20 year loan through a special tax assessment on your house. You sell the house, the new owner pays the rest of the solar loan/assessment. So, it’s sort of solar financing as you go, and you get all of the net metering and other benefits besides. We love this so much, we wrote two posts about it. Hell yes, do we love municipal financing. [...]

I enjoyed the site and information with the exception of one thing! On the page talking about solar financing and the stimulus bill, you use examples such as Citibank and Ford. That is a false statement in the fact that Ford never received in FED money. Perhaps you should change that to say GM or Chrysler.
