Just as we did in January, GetSolar would like to remind Phoenix-area customers that the April 30 deadline is fast approaching for the SRP EarthWise Solar Energy Rebate Program. Solar installers in the area are willing to give quotes for home or business installation.

From now until the deadline, residents going solar can save up to $13,500 on installation. As far as commercial solar installations, systems smaller than 50 kilowatts (kW) receive a rebate of $2.25/watt (roughly 30 percent of the cost), up to a maximum cap of $112,500. Commercial installations of 50 kW to 300 kW in size receive a production-based incentive: $0.16/kWh for 20 years, or $0.214/kWr for 10 years.

Be sure to take advantage of these unusually high rebates before the scale-back kicks in at the end of April.
