Stirling System Solar Generator
In a major victory for solar advocates in the state, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer today signed SB 1403 into law.
The bill extends tax credits and other incentives to manufactures of renewable energy equipment (mainly solar) if they locate in Ariz0na and meet other criteria.
Proponents of the legislation, which passed the AZ Senate on June 15th and the House June 26th, have claimed that such a bill was a missing “third leg” on a stool that would support Arizona’s bid to be the “solar capitol” of the nation.
(The other two legs are a large market for consuming solar electricity and enough incoming solar radiation to produce large quantities of power.)
The bill was sponsored by Senator Barbara Leff (R-Paradise Valley) and Representative Michele Reagan (R-Scottsdale).
