CURRENT REBATES MAKE THIS THE BEST TIME EVER TO INSTALL SOLAR - The California Energy Commission (CEC) is offering cash rebates on eligible renewable energy electric-generating systems through the Emerging Renewables Buydown Program. CEC recently approved an increase in rebates from $3,000/kW to $4,500/kW, or 50 percent of the installed system purchase price (whichever is less).

SAVE THOUSANDS ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILLS - Based on CEC's estimated annual production factor 1,750 kWh/1kW system, a 2.4 kW system can produce approximately 4200 kWh/year (350/kWh) of electricity that you do not have to pay PG&E, SCE or LADWP. At $0.20/kWh this equals electricity value of $840/year, $70/month and $21,000 over the 25 years that Siemens warranties solar module productivity.

LADWP CUSTOMERS RECEIVE REBATES UP TO 85% OF SYSTEM COSTS - Siemens manufactures locally in Los Angeles (Siemens acquired ARCO Solar business.) Customers installing Siemens systems in the LADWP operating region are entitled to rebates from LADWP of 85%. ($6/watt, vs. standard $4.50/watt) This 85% rebate is available only until the end of 2002.

Siemens Solar electric systems have been designed to provide an efficient and convenient source of environmentally-safe "green" power for residential and commercial users. The system is designed as strictly a supplemental power source which produces electricity - matched to local utility power in voltage, frequency, and phase. Systems can be expanded as required. As a guide, use 12 square feet of roof for each 100 watts of AC power required.

NEW 15% CALIFORNIA STATE TAX CREDIT Save even more. On October 9, 2001, Governor Gray Davis signed legislation (SB 17xx) which allows a 15 percent state tax credit (dropping to 7.5% in 2004) for solar and wind systems electricity systems based on post-rebate costs. That legislation can be found here (SBX2-17). Please check with your tax consultant to see if you are eligible for this credit.

HOMEOWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE - Solar rooftop systems are eligible for home improvement loans; check with your financial institution regarding home equity loans or second mortgages.

NO OBLIGATION - Forms are available online, and take only a short time to complete. The government review process takes about 1-2 months. Once approved you have months to complete your installation, after a successful inspection of which you will receive your rebate for up to 50% or more of total costs. If you decide not to install solar there is no obligation (obviously no rebate either).
