Federal Grant to Move Region's Solar Power Forward from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"A mish-mash of fragmented, confusing and costly municipal regulations and a lack of funding options to mitigate installation costs has hurt solar power installation more than a lack of sunshine, said Sharon Pillar, program manager for PennFuture's solar programs in Western Pennsylvania. Ms. Pillar said a $315,697 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, announced at a news conference Downtown Wednesday, will be used to remove those barriers and reduce costs through PennFuture's Three Rivers Solar Source project and a coalition of commissions and environmental and business development organizations, Allegheny County and 23 municipalities."
