Solar Incentive Programs Update •  California Solar Initiative (CSI) – the solar industry

in California has installed over 72,900 solar PV systems totaling 730 MW (MegaWatts) since January 1, 2007 (about 25% of the 2016 CSI goal).

•  CSI rebate in PG&E is now $0.35/WattAC •  Federal Income Tax Credit = 30% (no cap or AMT

exclusion) for taxable system owners •  Flexible Payment Options, Financing and Service
