Solar Grant NCSU (R)--Kelley McHenry reports on a new nine million dollar grant program awarded to North Carolina State University to make solar home installation projects easier and less expensive. The U.S. Department of Energy grant will be used to design solar energy systems and installation and connection procedures that require little or no customization by homeowners and installers. The systems would set up quickly and connect to the power grid easily, while still meeting building and electrical codes. (Wake Co.)
