GWP Solar Solutions Program
Funds/Incentives for this program are currently unavailable until July 1, 2011.
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 $3.46 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 2010, and by law are required to decline
at a rate of 7.0% a year. Incentive calculation will not exceed 50% of the total costs of the system.
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.
