Summary:
The Solar Solutions program provides all customer groups with an incentive to install photovoltaic (PV) systems on their homes and buildings. Rebate levels will decrease over time on an annual basis. The rebate levels for future program years can be seen at the website listed above. The rebate levels for 2009 are $3.72 per watt (up to 50% of total costs) for the installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system of a size less than or equal to 30kW. Larger systems can receive a rebate of $ 0.456 per kWh of actual electric production for the first 5 years. Systems installed at qualified affordable housing projects are eligible to receive larger incentives. Systems must be sized to produce no more than 125% of the customer’s past 12 months kWh consumption. The minimum installed cost for the customer after all grants, rebates, and a GWP incentive is $2.50/watt.
Eligible costs include expenditures for photovoltaic panels, mounting and tracking structures, wiring, inverters, foundations for free standing systems, interconnection equipment and meters, as well as applicable State licenses, permits, fees, and sales taxes. In addition to the $3.72/W incentive, all necessary City of Glendale licenses, permits, or fees are 100% reimbursable.
