Renewable Energy Incentives
The California Energy Commission is offering cash
rebates on eligible renewable energy electric-generating systems through
the Emerging Renewables Buydown Program. All types of electricity customers
are eligible: residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial.
PG&E’s Self-Generation
Incentive Program provides financial incentives to customers who install
certain kinds and sizes, up to 1.5 megawatt, of "clean" on-site
distributed generation. While residential customers are not barred from
the program, it was designed primarily with business or large institutional
customers in mind.
The California Energy Commission’s
Solar
Schools Program encourages the installation of solar photovoltaic
(PV) systems at public schools by offering a rebate of up to 90 percent
of the purchase and installation cost. School districts may also arrange
for a loan from the California Energy Commission's Energy
Efficiency Financing (Bright Schools) Program to cover the remaining
10 percent of project cost.
