Description

Austin Energy offers a performance-based incentive to customers with a commercial account number for electricity generated by qualifying photovoltaic (PV) systems. The incentive rate varies based on capacity of  the program, locked for a 10-year term, but the maximum incentive cannot exceed the amount indicated on the Letter of Intent. Systems rated up to 20 kW-AC are also eligible for net metering.

In order to qualify for this program, PV modules must be new and be listed on the California Energy Commission’s Go Solar web site. In addition, all solar panels must have a 20-year manufacturer warranty, all inverters must have a 10-year manufacturer warranty, and all systems must have a 10-year installer’s warranty. Licensed electrical contractors must obtain the appropriate permits and perform all electrical connections.
