Efficiency Maine, a subset of the Maine Public Utilities Commission, reopened its rebate program on Monday June 29, 2009.
This is a great opportunity for people who are considering a solar hot water or solar electric installation.
UPDATE: The rebate program has continued into 2010! See Efficiency Maine’s website for more details.
Solar hot water rebates, both commercial and residential, will be awarded in the amount of $1,000, and buildings that are Energy Star or Maine Home Performance rated may be eligible for a $1,500 rebate.
For all solar electric systems, the rebate amount awarded is $2,000.
In addition to the state rebates, you can receive up to 30% off a solar power or solar hot water installation thanks to federal tax credits.
The rebates will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis. If you think you are going to purchase a solar hot water or solar electric system and have it installed in 2009 or 2010 please contact our office to receive help in filling out the state rebate application.
