| Incentive Type | Utility Rebate Program |
|---|---|
| Eligible Technologies | Solar Water Heat, Photovoltaics, Wind |
| Applicable Sectors | Commercial, Industrial, Residential, Construction, Agricultural |
| Incentive Amount | PV systems up to 10 kW and/or that cost less than $75,000: customer may choose a capacity-based upfront rebate or a production-based incentive. PV systems over 10 kW or that cost more than $75,000, and all wind systems: customer may only take the production-based incentive Upfront rebate (PV): $0.50/W DC Upfront rebate (solar water heating): $0.65 per first year expected kWh savings Production-based incentive: $0.080 per kWh to $0.084 per kWh, depending on the length of the agreement, and whether the system is grid-connected |
| Maximum Incentive | Up-front incentive: 35% of project costs Performance based incentive: 40% |
| Eligible System Size(s) | Max size: 50 kW |
| Equipment Standards | PV equipment must meet IEEE 929 standards, UL 1741 standards, and the NEC code; Minimum 2-year warranty Solar water heaters must be OG-300 certified |
| Installation Standards | System must be installed by a licensed contractor |
| Start Date | None Listed |
| Incentive Type | Utility Rebate Program |
|---|---|
| Eligible Technologies | Solar Water Heat, Solar Space Heat, Photovoltaics, Landfill Gas, Wind, Biomass, Geothermal Electric, Geothermal Heat Pumps, Solar Pool Heating, Daylighting, Anaerobic Digestion, Small Hydroelectric, Geothermal Direct-Use |
| Applicable Sectors | Commercial, Residential |
| Incentive Amount | Up-front incentives for PV may be de-rated based on expected performance Residential grid-tied PV: $0.50/W-DC Non-Residential PV (70 kW or less): $0.50/Watt DC Non-Residential grid-tied PV (more than 70 kW): production-based incentive Wind (grid-tied, up to 1 MW): $1.25/W-AC Daylighting (non-residential only): $0.18 per kWh savings for 5 years; Residential Solar Water Heater: $0.50/kWh-equivalent Non-Residential Solar Water Heater: $0.50/kWh-equivalent, plus $750 Non-Residential Solar Water Heater: performance base incentive; Geothermal Heat Pumps: $500/ton All other eligible technologies can receive performance based incentives which vary depending on the technology and the length of the contract. Contract options for performance-based incentives are 10, 15 and 20 years. |
| Maximum Incentive | Residential PV systems greater than 20 kW AC will receive rebates on the first 20 kW AC only TEP incentive for PV cannot exceed 60% of the total project cost. TEP incentive for PV may be combined with other state and federal incentives, but combined they cannot pay for more than 85% of the total project cost |
| Eligible System Size(s) | PV: Minimum size is 1.2 kW. |
| Equipment Standards | Photovoltaic modules must be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty of at least 20 years to qualify for the up-front incentive. SWH systems must be certified to SRCC OG-300 standards Large solar water heaters and other solar thermal applications must use panels with SRCC OG-100 certification or laboratory documentation showing the panel energy output under controlled and replicable test conditions. Eligible small wind systems must be certified and nameplate rated by the CEC. Wind systems must have at least a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty to qualify for the up-front incentive; wind systems must have at least a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty to qualify for the performance-based incentive |
