California's Renewable Energy Incentives
 |
The California Solar Initiative |
As part of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 3.3 Billion, Million Solar Roofs Program, California has set a goal to create 3,000 megawatts of new, solar-produced electricity by 2017 - moving the state toward a cleaner energy future and helping lower the cost of solar systems for consumers
The California Public Utilities Commission, through its California Solar Initiative, provides incentives over the next decade for existing residential homes and existing and new commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties.
The California Energy Commission manages a 10-year, $400 million program to encourage solar in new home construction through its New Solar Homes Partnership.
- Photovoltaic incentives starting at $2.50 per watt for systems up to one megawatt in size.
- Funds for solar installations for existing and new low-income and affordable housing.
- A pay-for-performance incentive structure to reward high-performing solar projects.

California Energy Comission's Emerging Renewables Program |
The California Energy Commission is offering cash rebates on eligible grid-connected wind and fuel cell renewable energy electric-generating systems through its Emerging Renewables Program (ERP).
Effective January 1, 2007, the technologies eligible for ERP funding are:
- Small Wind Turbines - wind-driven generating systems with a rated output of 50 kilowatts or less
- Fuel Cell - the conversion of hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gases into electricity by a direct chemical process
For detailed program information and application forms; please see California Energy Comission's Emerging Renewables Program Guidebook
