A couple of weeks ago, we told you that Arizona U.S. representative Gabrielle Giffords’ (D) “Solar Technology Roadmap Act” had successfully jumped through committee and onto the House floor. Now, we’re happy to report that the House has green-lighted the bill so it can make its way towards the Senate. It passed by a very healthy margin indeed, at 310-106. Giffords represents a state with a history of strong solar incentives, and is doing Arizona solar proponents proud with the success of this innovative legislation.

The Solar Roadmap, if ultimately passed into law, will allow for better communication across the industry to achieve effective, efficient infrastructure building and ensure best distribution and use of federal funds.
