There areseveral states with great rebate programs whose incentives willchange–or end–in the new year. You don’t have to get a project 100percent complete by December 31st, you just have to have the contractin hand and a rebate application submitted (in most cases). Here arethe biggest programs up for the axe, or at least a New Year’sbelt-cinching–links will take you to previous posts or to DSIRE formore detail:
