Solar Energy
Rebates and Incentives
in California
The Clean Energy Programs of California currently offer rebates for solar electric systems. Sea Bright Solar will file all the paperwork for you. We will explain just how the rebate works.
Businesses are not only eligible for state rebates but also federal tax benefits, such as a 30 percent tax investment credit and depreciation benefits. Residential customers are also eligible for a $2000 federal tax credit.
Solar Power Rebates and Incentives include:
0% sales tax on labor: Solar electric systems labor is sales-tax exempt.
Utility rebates: Many utility programs offer rebates that cover much of the installation cost.
Federal tax credits: Homeowners can receive a $2,000 federal tax credit. Businesses can receive a 30% federal tax credit, up to allowable amounts, plus depreciation.
Freedom from utility price hikes:
Solar energy will help you save money and break free from your utility bills and produce clean, free energy for decades! A solar electric system is an investment; it pays for itself.
State and federal tax benefits and state rebates can make solar electric systems a reality for anyone in California who truly wants to generate his or her own electricity, decrease reliance on fossil fuels, become environmentally friendly, and break free of increasing monthly utility bills. Unlike electricity generated only by utility companies, electricity generated by solar and wind electric systems are free from rate increases.

Under net-metering laws in California, solar energy systems are allowed to operate on a time-of-use rate schedule, which enables users to sell electricity back to the utility at peak rates, which can be even more valuable.
