Ashland Electric Utility - Photovoltaic Rebate Program

The City of Ashland offers residential and commercial electric customers installing photovoltaic systems a rebate. Before January 1, 2023, cash incentives for interconnected solar electric systems were $0.25 per watt up to a maximum of $5,000 per system. Beginning January 1, 2023, solar electric installations that pass their electric inspections can receive incentive payments of $600. To qualify, the owner of the system must be a tenant of the facility where the system is installed. The system must be interconnected with the electric service at the facility and be net-metered. Systems must have at least 2,500 W of panels with total solar resource fractions of at least 75%. The system must be installed with permits from the City’s Building Safety Division and comply with all permit requirements.
