Whether you are looking for information on solar financing, the Solar Generations rebate program, Federal rebates, energy efficient home improvements, or energy star appliances, the Solar Festival will be your one-stop resource center. The wide range of exhibitors will include solar and renewable energy companies, green home builders, sustainable home products, and hybrid and electric vehicles.
