Notes:
At a Glance: This is a video from Businessweek magazine's video library that focuses on the costs involved in converting a house to solar power, how state incentives can offset those costs, and the resulting savings in utility costs. This program also gives specifics on which houses make the best candidates for converting to solar power. It describes how each member of the family that lives in this house is involved in going green, and discusses the family's next steps, which involve purchasing a hybrid car and converting to geothermal heating.

Best for: Homeowners who are thinking of converting to solar energy and would like information on the costs involved. It is also a good resource for families who would like ideas on getting everyone involved in being environmentally conscious.

Standout Features: Gives excellent information on the costs involved in adding solar panels to a home, and how the state can offset those costs. The podcast runs about 4 minutes.

Keep in Mind: The family featured in this program lives in Connecticut, where there are state and tax incentives to convert to solar energy. This may not be true for other states.
