Madison Area Technical College and the UW-Madison announced a $20,000 award by the Focus on Energy program to construct a solar collector testing facility at MATC – just the second of its kind in the U.S.
The lab will join the University of Central Florida’s Solar Energy Center as the only facilities in the country authorized to certify solar panels, which qualifies the homeowners who install them for tax credits and rebates. There is a certification backlog in the U.S.
