I spoke to someone recently who wants to buy land, purchase equipment and harness the power of the sun in large quantitites. They’re trying to go green in as many ways as possible and are thinking this would be a step to take toward everyone using a renewable form of energy. There are solar grants out there for individuals, families and businesses; there must be help out there for someone taking such a big step. I told them to check with local officials first, where they plan to buy the land, as they’ll be the first to know of resources available to help with the purchasing of the property.

(UK) i know that there is a site where you can sign up or request this grant for solar power but i know that for 9am the 1st day of the month hundreds of people get up early and set up their browsers ready and at 9am all start clicking like mad and hope they are the ones to make it through and get the grant by 9.30am on that same day all the funding has been given out.
So good luck!

Go to http://www.grants.gov for a list of government grants and how you can apply for them. However, there are no grants for a for profit business unless you are opening a daycare and then it is a minimal amount. If you need money, you will need to apply for a loan. No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plan. Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.
Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.
SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.
