Solar rebates in California are offered to customers who install solar
electric and solar hot water systems.
For
solar electric (photovoltaic)
systems the California Solar Initiative (CSI)
rebates vary according to system size, customer class, and performance
and installation factors. The subsidies automatically decline in "steps"
based on the volume of solar megawatts confirmed within each utility
service territory. To find the currently applicable rebate level in your
area, check the
CSI Statewide Trigger Tracker.
Currently the CSI rebate is at step 8
giving residential customers a $0.35/Watt rebate on installed systems. Contact us today to discuss other rebates and incentives
available.

Electric
The cost of your solar electric system will attract a rebate from
the California Solar Initiative via PG&E which today approximates 15%.
Additional to this rebate you will be able to offset up to 30% of the
cost of your installation (excluding PG&E rebate) as a dollar for dollar
Federal tax credit. These rebates and credits can amount to
35%
reduction in the cost of your installation.
Solar Hot Water
For solar hot water
(thermal) systems the California Solar
Initiative (CSI) rebates vary according to system size, customer class,
and performance and installation factors.
The subsidy equates to $1800 rebate on a typical domestic system. The rebate
currently equates to $12.82 per Therm for PG&E gas customer and
$0.37 per kWh for electric customers. This is capped at $1875 for gas
customers and $1263 for customers heating their water with electricity.
This converts to around a 15% rebate on the cost of the system.
As mentioned earlier the cost of your solar hot water system will
attract a rebate from the California Solar Initiative via PG&E.
Additional to this rebate you will be able to offset up to 30% of the
cost of your installation (excluding CSI rebate) as a dollar for dollar
Federal tax credit. These rebates and credits can amount to 40%
reduction in the cost of your installation.
