CPUC Approves Significant Increase in Solar Water Heating Rebates
SAN FRANCISCO — The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved an increase in rebates offered through the California Solar Initiative (CSI)-Thermal Program of up to 45 percent. CPUC authorized the higher rebates to help boost adoption of solar water heating technology and encourage involvement in the statewide program.
Through the program administrators — California Center for Sustainable Energy® (CCSE) in the San Diego Gas & Electric Company® territory; Pacific Gas & Electric Company® (PG&E); Southern California Edison® (SCE); and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas®) — customers who heat their water with electricity, natural gas, or propane can be eligible for the program’s highest solar water heating rebate to date.
