About this incentive
Austin Energy offers two incentives on the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system to customers with a commercial Austin Energy account number. The first program is a performance-based incentive (PBI) which provides a credit on your business' bill for the power your solar PV system generates. The second is a capacity-based incentive, offering customers an up-front check for installed solar PV capacity. The incentive rate varies based on capacity of the program, though PV systems shall not be sized to produce more than 110% of the historical annual energy consumption of the connected load. In order to qualify for this program, PV modules must be new and be listed by the California Energy Commission . In addition, all equipment and installation measures must have a 10-year warranty. Participating solar contractors must obtain the appropriate permits and perform all electrical connections. Additional system conditions apply, see the above linked PDFs or program website for further details.
