INCENTIVES AND REBATES

CALIFORNIA SOLAR INITIATIVE CSI REBATE
California has created a solar rebate program to encourage homeowners to lower their energy usage and switch to solar power. The California Solar Initiative program is designed to reward early adopters of solar power and energy efficiency, so the rebate amount per home continues to drop as the allotted funds are consumed. Call Lifetime Solar to secure your rebate at the current level before it drops again.

FEDERAL TAX CREDIT ITC
The federal government allows you to deduct 30% of your solar system costs off your federal taxes through an investment tax credit (ITC). If you do not expect to owe taxes this year, you can roll over your credit to the following year.
 

OTHER INCENTIVES
In addition to the California Solar Initiative, there are several other state, city and county solar power incentives and rebates available for homeowners and business owners. Brief examples of other incentives and rebates available to solar power consumers located in California include the California Property Tax Exemption for qualified solar energy systems.

The California Property Tax Exemption allows a property tax exclusion for certain types of solar energy systems installed between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2016. Qualifying active solar energy systems are defined as those that "are thermally isolated from living space or any other area where the energy is used, to provide for the collection, storage, or distribution of solar energy." These include photovoltaic (PV) systems.  

WE WILL HELP YOU
Navigating through government rebate programs on your own can be intimidating. Lifetime Solar will identify all of the qualifying tax credit and rebate programs for your system and file the required paperwork for you. We will even credit you for the California Solar Initiative rebate upfront so that you do not have to wait for the State to send you a check later.
