Tom,
Great idea, unfortunately the stimulus funds had to be obligated by 9/30/2010. I recently retired from Air Products in Allentown, PA where I was responsible for securing government funding. During my last year I was able to secure stimulus funding for several large clean energy projects that totaled $1 billion. One of the projects was a thin film solar farm to provide 50% of the electricity needs for AP's headquarters in Allentown--about 2MW. These projects are complex and require partnering with the local utility, state funding agency and DOE. If the solar panels are not installed on each home's roof then a lot of acres need to be set-aside for the panels. Having said that I would volunteer to help secure state and federal funding provided a viable project can be put together.
