Salem Electric - Photovoltaic Rebate Program

Salem Electric offers a rebate to residential and general service customers who install qualified solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The rebate offered is $300 per installed kW, up to a cap of 50% of project costs or $1,500. In order to take advantage of this rebate, systems must be 25 kW or smaller and comply with Salem Electric’s Net Metering Policy. System owners must apply for the rebate and have the project approved prior to beginning work on the system. Systems must be net-metered and meet the equipment requirements established by the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE). System owners must use an installer certified by the ODOE and obtain at least two bids. Before the final inspection, systems must pass the appropriate city or county inspection. Salem Electric will conduct a final inspection and issue the rebate after the final inspection.
