Residential Financial Incentives

New Government Financial Incentives have made this the best time to go solar. These financial incentives are available from the State and Federal governments help encourage investment in solar energy. Utilizing these strong state rebates and the most generous Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credit in a generation, you as a homeowner can now install a solar system that could pay for itself in as few as 6 years. The $2000 cap has been replaced with an unlimited 30% tax credit.Over the last 35 years, the average annual rate increase has been 6.5% (high energy users have seen substantially greater increases).

Federal Incentives

Investment Tax Credit
Residential solar systems are now eligible to receive a 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC).Systems placed into service before 2016 are eligible to receive a tax credit for 30% of the system cost (after rebate cost). The Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 included relief from previous Alternative Minimum Tax restrictions.

California Incentives for Homeowners

California Solar Initiative (CSI) Overview
California Senate Bill 1 (SB1) was signed into law in 2006 and provides $2.1 Billion to be used over 10 years as incentives to build commercial and residential solar systems in a program called the California Solar Initiative (CSI). Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE) are the participating utilities for these incentives.
The CSI rebates paid to homeowners are on a declining schedule – so the sooner you go solar, the higher level of rebate you receive.

Rebates on Residential Solar Systems

Residential solar systems are eligible for a rebate of 20-30% of the total system cost based on the EPBB or PBI system-specific design factor. CE Solar can credit this rebate to homeowners effectively discounting the rebate amount from the net contact price.

Expected Performance Based Buyback (EPBB)
For most homeowners (systems less than 50 kW AC in size), the CSI program will pay a one time rebate payment based on the system's Expected Solar Performance. This rebate level is calculated by incorporating system-specific design factors including location, tilt, azimuth, sun exposure, and other installation details.

Performance Based Incentive (PBI)
For most homeowners (systems less than 50 kW AC in size), the CSI program will pay a one time rebate payment based on the system's Expected Solar Performance. This rebate level is calculated by incorporating system-specific design factors including location, tilt, azimuth, sun exposure, and other installation details.

The CSI rebates apply to solar systems within the service territory of and receive current or future retail level electric service from PG&E, SCE, or San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). Other municipal utilities (such as SMUD, LADWP, Healdsburg, Riverside, etc.) offer independent solar rebate programs and incentives.

California Solar Property Tax Exemption

The appraised value of your property does not increase with the addition of a solar system (California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 73). Solar is one of the few home improvements that can be justified in terms of return on invested dollar. This tax exemption extends for the life of the solar system. The National Appraisal Institute notes that the value added to a home by a solar PV system is 20 times the value of the electricity costs saved in the first year. Due to the significant State rebate, the value of your solar system is often greater than the cost of purchase from day one.

California Net Energy Metering

California's Net Energy Metering Law allows solar PV system owners to bank excess electricity back to the utility company at retail rates, for a credit to owners' accounts. When a solar system generates more electricity than is consumed by the home, such as a sunny afternoon, the extra electricity is sent back the utility grid, and the utility company credits the system. On rainy days or at night, the solar customer uses these credits to purchase electricity from the utility grid, mostly at lower off peak rates.
