All things considered, Wisconsin runs a pretty decent solar rebate program. If you are a WI resident or business owner thinking about installing a solar energy system, you may want to apply now — the program's current application period ends on December 31.
Dubbed Focus on Energy, the program provides funds for homeowners and businesses who install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar hot water (solar thermal) systems. For PV systems, the payment is indexed to expected performance — i.e., the owner will receive a set payment for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity that is expected to be produced by the system.
For the current application period, solar rebate funds are available according to the following :
- Systems up to 20 kW in size: $1.50/ annual kWh (residential and commercial solar installations), up to $35,000 or 25 percent of system costs, whichever is less; $2.00/annual kWh (non-profits and government entities), up to $45,000 or 35% of total system costs, whichever is less.
- Systems > 20 kW: $1.00/annual kWh (residential and commercial solar installations), up to $50,000 or 25 percent of costs, whichever is less; $1.50/annual kWh (non-profits and government entities), up to $75,000 or 35% of total system costs, whichever is less.
Customers must be located in the service territory of a participating electricity provider. (You can check your eligiblity here.)
