East Decatur Station Installs $900,000 in Solar Panels
Decatur Metro | December 24, 2010The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported yesterday on East Decatur Station’s recently installed one of the largest solar panel systems in metro Atlanta, which carried a $900,000 price tag. The panels are projected to off-set the development’s energy prices by 20%.
Of course, with all things solar these days, there are plenty of government incentives to bring the price down for the property owner. According to the ABC article, East Decatur Station will receive a grant through the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority for 35% of installation costs and additional 30% Federal grant. (The article doesn’t specify whether that’s off the installation costs or the cost of the panels themselves.)
