Natural disasters are dominating the headlines these days; Mississippi flooding and mega tornadoes have destroyed entire cities across the southeast and in Missouri. As communities start the clean up process and begin to rebuild, we ought to encourage them to implement better building concepts and materials. Insurance companies may only pay replacement costs but community leaders could team with local lenders to finance solar systems under established PACE regulations. Solar technologies are ready today and the only barrier for their adoption is upfront cost. Considering solar at this stage of the redesign process is the time to make it work most cost effectively and allows for creative ways to mitigate the upfront cost. We will all be better off for it.
