Did you Know...
You can support renewable energy and help save the environment when you take advantage of SCE’s rebates on fixed and tracking photovoltaic (solar energy) systems, as part of the California Solar Initiative. In addition, you will play an important part in helping the state move towards a cleaner energy future.
How Much Is the Incentive?
Incentives are based upon the size and characteristics of the installation and your customer classification (i.e., an increased incentive level is available to Government and Non-Profit Organizations).
Please refer to the CSI Incentive Trigger Tracker chart for the current incentive amount.
How it Works...
To obtain an incentive on a solar energy system, you must complete the following four steps:
- Select a Solar Installer
- Submit an Application
- Install Your System
- Inspecting Your System
- Collect Your Rebate
1. Select a Solar Installer:
The California Energy Commission has a list of solar installers on their website at www.gosolarcalifornia.org/retailers/index.html.

2. Submit an Application:
You or your solar installer* must complete the CSI Application and return it to SCE in order to reserve your incentive amount. After the SCE Program Administrator receives your completed application and in some cases an application fee, you will receive a letter confirming your reservation. The letter will reserve incentive funds for you, based upon the size of your solar project.
In order for you to retain your incentive reservation, you must be able to provide documentation on your progress, to show that you are moving forward with your installation.
* A solar installer can, on your behalf, apply for an incentive and arrange for your system to be interconnected to SCE’s power grid. The installer may also apply for local permits, if applicable.

3. Install Your System:
In addition to the CSI Application, you or your installer must contact SCE for permission to connect your system to SCE’s power grid. A copy of SCE’s written authorization to interconnect your solar system will be required for you to collect your rebate under the CSI program. T
