Government understands the value of solar electricity and is encouraging its use by reducing the net cost to the level of current fossil-fuel power plants.
For residences: The state of California will pay 50% of the cost up to $4,500 per kW.
To qualify for the rebate you must submit a reservation form, a letter-of-intent or purchase agreement with the installing company, and proof of current electric use.
If approved, the California Energy Commission (CEC) will send a confirmation notice. The purchaser has 9 months to present proof of the final installation.
A rebate check is then sent to the purchaser or installer, as mutually agreed upon.
For small businesses: There is a 10% Federal tax credit and 5-year ACRS depreciation.
In addition, the same state rebate as residences is applied on the net cost. This can reduce the net cost by 66%.
