Clean, Renewable Solar Power = A Healthier Louisville
Asthma is triggered by air pollution and the #1 reason Louisville kids miss school. Solar power emits no pollution, supports local jobs and cools our planet. Kentucky receives 50% more sunshine than Germany—the world solar power leader—so Louisville CAN go solar!

Heard about changes in the net-metering rules? Here's the latest for LG&E customers (similar to the latest for customers of Kentucky Utilities, Inc., and Kentucky Power, Inc.):
​
Under heavy pressure from the electric utility monopolies -- including $327,050 in campaign contributions -- the majority of the Ky. General Assembly voted to alter net metering in ways meant to extend those monopolies to the sun. However, based on a very recent Public Service Commission (PSC) ruling, the net-metering terms were reduced by only 26%. Then, the PSC changed course and allowed the utilities to impose a different accounting mechanism; things remain tied up in court.
​
Still, in most cases, residential solar power still offers good returns on your financial investment, and always pays great dividends to everyone's climate. If you're considering a solar power project for your commercial property, and are able to use most or all of the power it would produce in real time, changes to net-metering are an insignificant concern.)
