WHY is it promoting Solar SO heavily and wind practically not at all, when wind, especially the MVAT Roof-Mounted Turbine, blows away solar in efficiency and cost. But with the heavy state incentives on solar and not on wind, it’s not right.
$1.00 a WATT for solar. So a 5kw system gets $5000 upfront (solar) $3.20 a KILOWATT for wind. So a 5kW Turbine gets $16 upfront. WHY?
The state has a mandate to have 20% of it’s energy coming from renewables by 2021, why do they care what renewable technology produces it?
Could it be the solar political lobby is very strong in NJ. Is that what it takes, political corruption?
Like I said, shame on NJ.

Sub-metering is also a valuable exercise if you have large amounts of equipment and electricity bills but don’t know where your heavy usage is occurring – Ingersoll Rand mentioned this in a presentation that I reported on : (http://c12solutions.com/blog1/sustainability-green-business-models-fdu/)
