Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Bank

[edit]

The SEECA created the Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Bank, which in turn had the following powers before SEECA had been repealed:

  • To purchase loans and advance credit for energy conserving systems or solar energy systems.
  • To purchase mortgages secured by newly constructed homes with solar energy systems.

Due to the scheduled expiration, pursuant to SEECA law, of the Bank's authorization, the Bank ceased operations in 1988.[3]
