The California Solar Initiative is still active and while Pacific Gas & Electric has exhausted its rebate funds, other utilities have not: http://www.cleanenergyauthority.com/solar-rebates-and-incentives/california/california-solar-initiative http://www.cleanenergyauthority.com/solar-rebates-and-incent... There are plenty of other incentives and subsidies as well (http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/energy/solar http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/energy/solar) including writing off equipment costs against property taxes (http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm). The significant thing that is making solar installations attractive to consumers currently are the many zero down options including leasing and lease to own on a lien against your house. It's growing! I'm personally working on sales software to reduce customer acquisition cost. The bottleneck in the future is going to be order fulfillment. edit: formatting, new here..didn't know anchor tags are disallowed
