The first annual SolarDay (www.solarday.com) will be held statewide and nationwide on the first day of Summer - Sunday, June 21, 2009 - to educate the public about the benefits of solar energy and solar products.
SolarDay is the first statewide and national recognition on the importance of solar energy to provide a source of energy that will reduce the U.S. dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil. This is an annual event held each year on the first day of Summer.
John Reed, Director of SolarDay said: "While oil prices have recently declined, the party's over for cheap fossil fuels, forever. The new Obama administration provides us with a fresh start to dramatically grow the solar and green energy we need to meet our energy needs. The importance of solar energy has been recognized by the U.S. Congress, which included an 8-year extension of the 30% energy investment tax credit (ITC) in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, and removed the $2,000 cap which enables homeowners to fully use the 30% ITC."
