Rebates

Federal: 30% Federal tax credit with no cap.

State: Austin has a great rebate for solar at $2.50 per watt DC, up to a max of $15,000 per year or $50,000 lifetime! Your home needs to meet energy efficiency standards to be approved, since they want people to have made the “easy” fixes (like basic insulation) first.

Because Austin has very inexpensive power this rebate helps make solar energy financially compelling. You can find more info here.

Couple these two rebates on a normal size 5kW system and you are looking at about $17,500 in rebates and tax incentives (for a net system cost of $12,500).
