There's financial help for anyone thinking of 'going green'

So, OK, you're thinking of installing a solar water heater, generating enough heat from the sun to offset 75 percent of the natural gas, electricity or propane you use to heat your water?

Well, the Solar Water Heating Pilot Program can help you.

This is a trial program currently available to San Diegans that offers cash incentives of as much as $1,500 for residents and $75,000 for businesses that transition to solar.

The program runs through 2009 or until the $2.6 million budget is exhausted.

The California Center for Sustainable Energy, a San Diego nonprofit organization, has taken the lead in launching the program, along with many other renewable energy programs.
