REC Solar has announced its exciting new program, The Walnut Creek Solar Challenge. This Challenge is expected to dramatically increase the amount of solar electricity generated by residents of the community. The innovative program combines community discounts with a donation of a solar electric system to The Ruth Bancroft Garden when the goal of 100 kilowatts of solar is reached.

The Ruth Bancroft Garden is deservedly recognized as one of the finest dry gardens in the world. As The Garden prepares to celebrate the Centennial Birthday of its Founder, REC Solar is honoring Ruth by building on her vision of conservation to include energy as well as water.

According to Walnut Creek resident Stuart Rowley, "Walnut Creek residents have a unique opportunity to save money on a solar installation through this community discount program. At the same time, they can help benefit the Ruth Bancroft Garden, which gets a complimentary solar system if the program target is met.

With this program, Walnut Creek residents can go solar now to help save energy, reduce CO2 emissions, save money on their energy bill, and help the Ruth Bancroft Garden - how sweet is that! This program gives the incentive to act now."

"This may be the best chance for Walnut Creek residents to learn about solar and to take advantage of the community discount as well as state and federal incentives, which are rapidly decreasing or expiring," said Matthew Woods, Director of Sales at REC Solar.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 25, 2008
With the Australian Labor government's first budget, an immediate restriction on the $8000 rebate incentive via a means test qualification was introduced, not to mention unrealistic time frames for implementation of this new rebate system. Many companies and customers have been left stranded, victims of the Labor government's overnight, instant effect, policy change.
