 The current California Solar Incentives are available on a First Come-First Served Basis for all Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas & Electric and Pacific Gas & Electric customers. Reserving your California Solar Incentive for your solar electric system for your home will guarantee the highest available incentive level. Homeowners throughout California can receive up to $2,000 in federal tax credits for your system installation until December 31, 2008.  

Solar Electric System Owners Benefit from Time-of-Use Metering Program 

California's net metering law provides that all utilities must allow customers with solar electric systems rated up to 1.5 MW to interconnect with the local utility grid and receiving retail value for the electricity produced. The owner of a residential grid-connected solar electric system may buy and sell electricity each month under the Time-of-Use program. Southern California Edison’s Time-of-Use program is designed to encourage customers to reduce electricity use by charging higher rates during peak hours. This is a great advantage for solar electric system owners. For example, Southern California Edison Tier 5 Time Of Use rate allows you to run your electric meter backwards at up to $0.48 per kWh during the weekday afternoons when your solar electric system would be generating its maximum amount of power and purchase electricity during the evenings at $0.12 per kWh. Southern California Edison would change your meter so that it can measure the amounts of electricity you use within different time periods each day of the week. With your new meter, you can check your usage during each of the Time-of-Use rate periods and monitor your electric usage patterns. This Time of Use billing method effectively improves the economics of your solar power electric system by a factor of 15% to 40% depending on your home's electrical usage.

California grid-tie solar electric power system installations are currently eligible for the $2.20 per Watt California Solar Incentive and homeowners can also receive a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 for the solar electric system installation that has solar panels that are guaranteed to produce electricity for minimum of 25 years. These incentives help homeowners afford to install their own grid-tie solar electric power system or grid tie battery back up solar electric system to give them power when the grid is down. Solar electric systems are also exempt from property tax in California. Invest in your own grid-tie solar electric power system today and protect yourself from future electric rate increases.
