...make the solar energy tax credit permanent AND refundable.

Nothing has fostered private solar ownership more than this credit.

Also increase the credit to 35% permanently.

You don't need to build large solar farms if you distribute the solar generation to every rooftop.

Also make the tax credit for off grid storage 35% AND refundable!

Make the off grid storage smart so it can feed the grid when it needs to.

Force utilities to pay at market rates instead of wholesale rates when they tap home storage.
