CEC funding [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

Marco,

No rebate money until next year. Then, $4.50/W rebate for systems up to 30 kW. It is very likely that again over $50 million in rebates will be applied for in 2003. Funding will be available for approx. $24 million.

Today is the deadline for people to submit comments to the CEC regarding Docket No. 02-REN-1038. Here is one of the recommendations that I submitted:

Changing PV system size categories from 10 kW or less to 30 kW puts homeowners in competition with businesses that install larger systems. The original categories were established to make rebates available to the maximum number of homeowners and prevent larger systems from consuming most of the rebates. I
strongly recommend that the original categories remain in effect.

Best regards,
Joel Davidson

Still at $4.50 per AC watt?  There seems to a lot of confusion and concern in the CA. PV community over these questions.
