This webinar explores the financial side of solar PV, including system cost components and soft costs, incentive structures, net metering and interconnection considerations, and approaches to estimating cash flow and simple payback. We’ll compare ownership and leasing models and outline how to assemble a straightforward economic case for homes, farms, and small businesses. Hosted by Drew Schiavone, Energy Specialist with University of Maryland Extension.
