Solar Electric Power Association Facilitating Utility Use and Integration of Solar Electric Power Policies that Make a Difference
Solar Electric Power Association Facilitating Utility Use and Integration of Solar Electric Power Securing America’s Energy Independence Act (HR 550, S 590) § Extends ITC for 8 years § Removes 30% cap for commercial systems and $2, 000 cap on residential systems § Modifies credit to $1, 500 per ½ k. W § Provides AMT (alternative minimum tax) relief § Provides 3 -year accelerated depreciation for commercial systems
Solar Electric Power Association Facilitating Utility Use and Integration of Solar Electric Power According to the Solar Energy Industries Association § An 8 -year extension of the ITC will: § Create more than 55, 000 new American jobs in the solar industry and over $45 billion in economic investment by 2015. § Displace over 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and save American consumers over $32 billion. § SEIA makes it simple for individuals to join letter writing campaign – www. seia. org
Solar Electric Power Association Facilitating Utility Use and Integration of Solar Electric Power California Solar Initiative (CSI) § 3, 000 megawatts of new, solar-produced electricity by 2017 § CPUC will provide over $2 billion in incentives for existing residential homes and existing and new commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties § CEC will manage a $350 million program to encourage solar in new home construction through its New Solar Homes Partnership
Solar Electric Power Association Facilitating Utility Use and Integration of Solar Electric Power CSI offers: § Incentives starting at $2. 50 per watt for systems up to 1 MW in size § Pay-for-performance incentive structure to reward highperforming solar projects § Funds for solar installations for existing and new low-income and affordable housing § More info at www. gosolarcalifornia. ca. gov
