Historic Solar Incentive Programs• Emerging Renewables Program (ERP)
• Enabling Legislation –AB 1890 and SB90 (1997) • CEC Program launched in 1998• Grid connected renewable projects up to 30kW
• Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP)• Enabling Legislation – AB 970 (2000)• CPUC Program launched in 2001• Grid connected renewable projects 30kW and up

Go Solar California!
• Million Solar Roofs Bill (SB1)• Signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger on
September 21, 2006• Ended solar incentives through the
ERP and SGIP• Launched the California Solar
Initiative (CSI) and New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP).

California Solar Initiative (CSI)• As part of the “Go Solar California”
campaign, the California Solar Initiative (CSI) was instituted to help facilitate the installation of 1,750 MW statewide and create a sustainable solar industry
• Of the 1,750 MW, CCSE is due to install 180 MW by end of 2016
• 59 of which will come from the residential sector (roughly 15,000 average size systems)
![Page 8: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

CSI Rebates• Rebates are offered on a declining scale• Current CSI Incentive (upfront): $1.55/Watt
• Next rebate amount is $1.10/Watt
![Page 9: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

CSI Rebates
•Offsets roughly 15% to 20% of the total installed costs•Rebates will decline as more solar gets installed

Current Cost Per Watt by System Size: Residential
• PV costs range from $8.50 to $11.50 per watt fully installed… before taking rebates or tax credits. The average cost of all residential systems to date is $9.28 per watt.
Current $/Watt by Residential System Size in California
Systems 1 kW – 5 kW = $9.71/WattSystems 5 kW – 10 kW = $9.12/WattSystems 10 kW and up = $9.03/Watt
Average Residential System Size = $9.28/Watt

The Future of CSI: Paperless Applications
![Page 50: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
5050
Why Paperless?
Reduce Carbon Footprint of the Program• PDF submittal means less documents to be printed• Lowers fuel consumption by eliminating transportation
of documents from one location to another
More Efficient Application = Reduced Cost• Single location for most current forms• Eliminate postage cost and other Admin cost for
preparing mail• No more duplicate data entry from Excel Forms
![Page 51: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Future Paperless Submittal Process
APPLICANT
PA Begins Review Process
1. Fill out CSI Forms using PowerClerk
2. Prepare Supporting Documentation
3. Email or attach documentation to PC
![Page 52: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
5252
PowerClerk Data Upload Feature
Purpose of the feature• Allows external software programs to upload
application data to populate CSI Reservation Request Forms
• Streamlines process & eliminates duplicate entry of data by Applicant and CSI Administrators
**Recommended for large installers whose custom tools auto-populate excel rebate and interconnection paperwork

5656
What is Solar Water Heating?• Solar Assist or Solar Pre-heat• Always keep the existing heater
as backup to solar• Great way to conserve energy,
reduce your utility bill, increase the value of your home, and reduce Global Warming!
![Page 57: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
5757
How does it work?
First, understand conventional water heaters:
• Conventional water heaters maintain hot water in the storage tank around 120-140 degrees F.
• When the water temperature drops below that, your electricity or natural gas will kick on to heat the water to the appropriate temperature.
• This happens while you are at work all day, even though there is no demand for hot water
![Page 58: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Basic SWH Design
1. Sun heats water or a heat transfer fluid in a solar collector on the roof
2. Solar heated water is stored in solar tank
3. Solar heated water circulates between solar tank and back up water heater
4. Back up water heater boosts the temperature of the water, if needed
5. Use solar heated water !

What is the Solar Water Heating Pilot Program?
• The Solar Water Heating Pilot Program, part of the larger California Solar Initiative, was designed to gather information on the market, technologies and financials of SWH in order to expand to a statewide program.• Total SWHPP budget is $1.5 million for incentives• Program rolled out on July 2, 2007 and will run
through Dec. 31, 2009• CSI-Thermal Program was proposed July 15, 2009-
statewide incentive program
![Page 61: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
6161
SWH Pilot Program - Eligibility• Eligible:
• SDG&E electric customers only, nowhere else in the state
• Natural Gas, Electric, and Propane users are all eligible
• New construction and retrofit projects
• Not Eligible:• Pools and Spas are not eligible• Other thermal technologies, such as space heating
and cooling, are not eligible• Replacement of single components is not eligible
![Page 62: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
6262
SWH Pilot Program-Requirements
• Eligible Contractor• SRCC Certified System• Two step application process• City or County Permit• SWHPP Inspection
![Page 63: Overview of Solar Incentive Programs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555af2a7d8b42a4c7d8b522a/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
6363
Incentives - Residential• Maximum Incentive: $1,500
• Solar Orientation Factor (SOF) – 0.9 to 1.0 based on tilt and orientation
• SRCC Annual Savings of the OG-300 System (System Rating)
• Incentive Calculation:• Natural Gas Offset: Maximum Incentive x (SOF) x
(System Rating/150 therms)= Incentive Amount• Electric Offset: Maximum Incentive x (SOF) x
(System Rating/3000 kWh)= Incentive Amount
• Example: • Natural Gas: $1,500 x 1.0 x (125/150)= $1,250• Electric: $1,500 x 1.0 x (2500/3000)= $1,250

6464
Incentives – Commercial• Maximum Incentive: $75,000
• Solar Orientation Factor (SOF) – 0.9 to 1.0 based on tilt and orientation
• SRCC Annual Savings of the OG-100 Collector- thousands of Btu/day
• Incentive Calculation: • Closed Loop: $20 x (SOF) x (System Rating) = Incentive
Amount• Open Loop : $15 x (SOF) x (System Rating) = Incentive
Amount
• Example:• Closed Loop: $20 x 1.0 x 35 = $700 per collector• Open Loop : $15 x 1.0 x 35 = $525 per collector

6565
Additional Incentives• Federal Tax Credit – 30% of cost
(post-incentive) (No cap)
