If you don’t think you make a difference in the fight to save the solar ITC, you are very much mistaken. Here are two things you can do right now and in a few weeks. While the ITC is not set to expire for over a year, the fight to extend will happen in the next two months. First, call your Senator, especially if they are on this list. If you know someone in a State that has a Senator on this list, ask them to call their Senator. Simply ask the person that answer the phone, “I am calling to ask Senator XYZ to extend the solar investment tax credit. I work/supper in solar and hope to get your support as well.” The second task comes during recess in a few weeks. Your Senator will have town hall meetings. Go to the meetings and ask “Will you support and fight to extend the solar investment tax credit.” More to come
Also, thank you to Jeff Adams of eGauge for the solar battle of the band ticket. Much appreciated!
