State and Federal Incentives Pay You to use Alternative Energy Systems Today

All 50 states and the District of Columbia offer some form of financial incentives to help you “save green” when you “go green.” As of January 1, 2004, California provides a $3.20 per Watt rebate and a 7.5% tax credit on residential systems. This can result in savings of up to 50% on the system’s total purchase price. In other states, the incentives can be even more generous. New Jersey currently offers rebates of $5.50 per Watt, resulting in net savings of as much as 70%. For specific up-to-date information on federal, state, and local incentives available in your area, consult the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. You can find this helpful resource at www.dsireusa.org Your Utility Meter Spins Backwards with Net Metering. Net metering programs in 38 states and the District of Columbia help increase your savings. With net metering, your electric meter tracks your net power use, spinning forwards when you use electricity from the utility, and backwards when your system generates more electricity than you need. Your local utility or www.dsireusa.org can give specific details of the net metering program in your area.
