Rebate Amounts

CCEF’s solar rebate is based on the design efficiency of your system. Your installer will calculate how much electricity your PV system will produce as compared with an equivalent system under ideal conditions. This calculation is based on your site and equipment. We will then apply a “design factor” to the dollars-per-watt basis to calculate the rebate amount. The ideal conditions that will maximize your rebate are:

An inverter that is 94% efficient or better
No shading on the site
PV panels facing solar south (plus or minus 20 degrees)
PV panels tilted at a 35-degree angle
