Experience the Power of Solar !

     Glendale Water & Power has expanded its Solar Solutions program to include all customer groups. Starting immediately, GWP provides cash incentives to all customers that install grid-connected solar photovoltaic systems. Systems must meet new project guidelines.

     GWP's Solar Solutions Program provides up to $4.00 per watt for installed systems sized 30 KWdc or less, and the equivalent of up to $3.55 for larger systems that meet program guidelines. Actual incentives on the larger systems will be paid on a per kWh basis for electricity production over the first five years of system operation. Systems installed on affordable housing projects will be eligible for even higher incentives. These incentives will remain in effect until December 2008, and by law are required to decline at a rate of 7.0% a year.

     Interested customers must reserve incentives prior to starting installations. We encourage customers to reserve now to lock-in the higher incentive rate before it declines by the end of the year. Contractors that are interested in installing systems 30Kwdc or less may call Suzanne Daniels at (818) 548-2750 for more information. For systems larger than 30 KWdc please contact Hector Gutierrez (818) 548-2746 or Herbert Garcia (818) 548-2749

     New brochures on our Solar Solutions programs will be available in mid-April. If you are interested in receiving more information or are interested to distribute information to prospective customers call us today. Thank you for your interest in our Solar Solutions program. We look forward to working with you. Thank you for your interest in our Solar Solutions program. We look forward to working with you.

What are Green Energy Credits?

Renewable Energy certificates (REC’s) also know as green certificates, green tags, or tradable renewable certificates, represent the environmental attributes of the power produced from renewable energy projects.  If you choose to keep the Green Energy Certificate, your incentive will be less. If you choose the higher incentive, GWP may keep the Renewable Energy Credits and associated renewable attributes generated by the PV system for reporting purposes.
