11:09 pm

11:10 pm
less appealing. >> we' re here in downtown portsmouth where the railroad has asked a federal judge to block any efforts by the city to stop them from off-loading liquid petroleum about 100 yards up these tracks. xx. boston and maine corporation, which is part of pan am railways, claims its preparing to transfer propane from rail cars to trucks next to a densely-populated neighborhood. >> what if something goes wrong, we live right next to it and offloading petroleum, what if something happens, they' re in the middle of town. >> i' m worried, i' m wondering what are they thinking? >> the railroad says the transfer facility is needed because the city is opposed to a proposed expansion at sea-3, a propane distributor in newington. sea-3 has passed safety studies but still faces state and local processes and regulations. the lawsuit asks a federal judge
11:11 pm
maine is protected under federal statutes and is exempt from state and local regulations. >> so the position of the city is going to be that we will do whatever we can within the bounds of the law to protect our citizens from the hazardous aspects of that transloading activity. >> the governor issued a statement that says in part, it is extremely troubling that pan am is refusing to work with state and local officials regarding activities that pose real safety and environmental threats to our citizens. this is absolutely the wrong approach. >> we reached out to the railroad for comment, and to the attorneys who filed the suit on their behalf, but so far they have not responded. in portsmouth, jennifer crompton, wmur news9. shelley: solar panels are growing in popularity across the state and there are incentives for homeowners. >> we got about $3,000 back which is the maximum you can get back as a residential owner from the state. shelley: coming up on news 9 tonight the programs that will reward you for going solar and
11:12 pm
when those programs are coming to an end. mike: the first weekend of october is just about here so
11:13 pm
plus the chance of showers. shelley: hard to imagine but
11:14 pm
winter is right around the corner. and so are those big bills. tom: thousands are harvesting the power of the sun to stay warm and in some cases making a little money. tonight, wmur' s amy coveno finds out what it takes to go solar. >> pardon the pun solar energy is hot right now. >> i would anticipate this year we will be at 400% over where we granite state solar is hiring. >>granite state solar is hiring. because nh homeowners are going solar in droves and the clock is ticking to cash in on impressive state and federal rebate programs that are set to expire at the end of 2016. >> we got about $3,000 back which is the maximum you can get back. as a residential owner from the state. then there is about $7,000 back from the federal government in the form of a tax break. so that covered roughly half of the total cost. >> the bourassa' s went solar 18 months ago. and during our interview these panels were filling his gas tank. and more.
11:15 pm
>> we do use a lot of electricity. i have a hot tub in the back, we run 3 air conditioners, i have 3 electric cars so our usage is t produce everything that we use. but it makes about a third of >> since inception we' ve issued more than 1700 rebates to residential homeowners. karen cramton is the director of >> sustainable energy for the puc which manages the rebate program for solar panels. the program has paid out 565 rebates in 2015 doubling 2014' s rebates,and more than the past two years combined. >> the rebate program began with the renewable portfolio statute that was enacted by nh legislature in 2008. >> that law mandates that 24.8% of the state' s electricity come from renewable sources by 2025. each year electric service providers comply with the law by acquiring renewable energy
11:16 pm
electricity generated from renewable sources, based on%age of their sales. rec payments from utilities like eversource or liberty fund the rebate program. >> when we found out we were a good candidate we kind of jumped at the opportunity. >> granite state solar builds a solar array for the fales on a bright sunny day in the time it takes us to conduct the interviews. but what happens in a few months? when it snows a lot. >> solar panels absorb heat the sun will come out after a snow storm and shine through a foot of snow onto those panels. and that panel is slippery like a standing seam metal roof. you' ll get a little water between the seam and the roof and it will shed right off. >> this solar array in auburn is built on a stand that actually pivots to follow the sun. when no one is home all that harnessed energy is put on the grid and the meter actually runs backwards. so what does it really cost to ' go solar' ? >> so if you pay $150 a month to eversource we can get you a loan
11:17 pm
right around the same payment per month at 2.9% and you' ll have it paid off in six years. some companies offer leasing options but experts say the overall savings for the homeowner is greatly diminished by leasing and the puc cautions consumers to do their due diligence, researching both the company and the lease vs. buy option. the bourassa' s estimate they' re saving 80 to $90 a month. some homeowners actually get a check in the mail paying them for energy their home put onto the grid. >> you' re going to be paying your electric bill one way or another so if you can harness your own electricity and use a renewable resource eventually you' ll be off the grid. amy coveno, wmur news 9. >>amy coveno, wmur news 9. shelley: some government solar programs are already changing. after tomorrow, the maximum state rebate will drop from $3750 to $2500.
11:18 pm
>> now, mike haddad with your stormwatch nine forecast. southern new hampshire but we did squeeze out some. this is a look at time lapse of that newfound lake as you saw some high clouds and a beautiful sunset there in newfound lake. take a look at manchester at about 6:40 this evening. that' s the only time it lasted and then it was back overcast and a few sprinkles around. high temperature in concord for the first of october, the normal high this time of year is 66. that' s exactly where we topped off. that' s the warmest reading we will see over the next few days. cool air building in courtesy of a wind out of the north and high-pressure billing in from the north is well. a few light showers on the dividing line between that fall chill and tropical air sitting well off to the south. the same front that brought the heavy rain over the past 48
11:19 pm
south right now and a couple of weak disturbances are rolling along. the best chance of a couple of showers between now and daybreak tomorrow. right now temperatures lining up in the 50' s from the lakes region and points out and 40' s to the north and west. a big area of high pressure continues to build in slowly from southeastern canada. that will park itself over the northeast over the next few days and spare us from any tropical activity, at least to monday. after that, all bets are off as the storm we are tracking tries to move up either back into the carolinas or well out to see. the tendency now is farther to the east. southwestern northeast, the line of showers is fairly weak, not even reaching the ground in a few communities. as we go to the next 24 hours,
11:20 pm
the best shot of any rain will be from the lakes region south and the area around manchester through nashua and over toward the coast. the heavy rain remains to the south. moving ahead to friday night and saturday, white a few clouds in southern new hampshire. we could see a few sprinkles or a light shower but really nothing to aggravate any flooding concerns, so that is the good news. not so good news down in the hamas. major hurricane joaquin. gusts to 150, just battering a portion of the bahamas right now. a lot of damage likely to be seen over the next couple of days as the storm eventually pulls away from this area. right now it is stalled in place. there' s tropical pressure back over florida that should help to begin to steer hurricane joaquin to the north. the likely track beyond that takes it up east of the carolinas and and well out to' s the southeast of new england. keep in mind this is based on
11:21 pm
several computer models, not every single one of them. there are couple that still try to drive the hurricane back into or sunday night. we will keep close caps on -- close tabs on it. quiet pattern around here sunday night for tuesday. we will watch the storm and hope the trends continue out to sea. stay tuned tomorrow.
11:22 pm
11:23 pm
