GWP Solar Solutions Program
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.
Cash Incentives to Go Solar
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.
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.
