CPS Energy Solar PV Rebate Program

The CPS Energy Solar PV Rebate Program is a financial incentive designed to encourage the adoption of solar energy by providing rebates to residential and commercial customers.

Program Details

Residential Rebates:

  1. First $9 Million Fund:

    • Additional $500 rebate for using locally-produced panels.
  2. Next $5 Million Fund: 
    • Flat rebate of $1,500 per project.

Commercial Rebates:

  • Total funding available: $1 million.
  • Rebate of $0.60 per watt.
  • Additional $0.10 per watt for locally-produced panels.

How It Works

  • Rebates are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Residential projects benefit from higher rebate amounts initially, with reduced rates as funds are utilized.
  • Commercial projects receive rebates based on a per-watt basis, incentivizing larger installations.
  • Using locally-produced solar panels adds extra rebates, supporting both renewable energy and local manufacturing.

By making solar energy more affordable, the CPS Energy Solar PV Rebate Program aims to foster a cleaner, sustainable energy future.
