The District’s renewable energy program the past 2 administrations has grown quite a bit and has also shaped many business ventures that have become an integral part of the overall effort in advancing solar installations.

This past week the Kojo Nnamdi Show in Washington DC highlighted what happened to the solar program as budget cuts left 51 residents promised grants for their installations, now scrambling to find the funds to complete their residential project.
