Utility Rebates For the State of California, the new California State Incentive (CSI) program began in January 2007. The CSI rebates are available to both Residential and Commercial Customers of PG&E, SDREO, and SCE. Other Utilities, such as SMUD, do not have access to CSI rebates, but they may have their own Solar funding. To find out more about your particular area, please feel free to access the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) or the Go Solar California site:

Apex Solar will help you secure the CSI Rebate. The current PG&E Rebates are:

Commercial: As of 12/24/10, no more funds available
* note: under ideal conditions & locations
30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) Starting in 2009, the 30% Federal Tax Credit was extended and the $2,000 residential cap lifted! Also, for those paying Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), you are now allowed to apply the 30% Federal Tax Credit against your AMT liability. Please work with your tax accountant to maximize your benefits from the Federal Tax Credit.
