State Incentives for Renewable Energy Business

A recent analysis of state programs revealed 19 states that had a total of 26 programs specific to attracting renewable energy companies.

Several states offer grants and loans (including loan guarantees). And the state of Kansas is offering bond financing for solar or wind manufacturing projects.
