As part of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's $3.3 billion, Million Solar Roofs Program, California has set a goal to create 3,000 megawatts of new, solar-produced electricity by 2017 - moving the state toward a cleaner energy future while helping to lower the cost of "going solar."
You can support renewable energy and help save the environment when you take advantage of financial incentives for installing eligible photovoltaic systems, as part of the California Solar Initiative. In addition, you will play an important role helping the state move toward a cleaner energy future.
To find out more information on the current incentive level for “going solar,” please refer to the CSI Incentive Trigger Tracker chart.
California Solar Initiative is a renewable energy program in the United States.
As part of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Million Solar Roofs Program, California has set a goal to create 3,000 megawatts[citation needed] of new, solar-produced electricity by 2016 — moving the state toward a cleaner energy future and helping lower the cost of solar systems for consumers.
The California Solar Initiative has "a total budget of $2.167 billion between 2007 and 2016 and a goal to install approximately 1,940 MW of new solar generation capacity." [1]
The CSI initially offered cash incentives on solar PV systems of up to $2.50 per AC watt. These incentives, combined with federal tax incentives, could cover up to 50% of the total cost of a solar system. The incentive program was designed so that the incentives would reduce in steps over 9 years. There are separate steps for residential and non-residential customers in the territories of each of the State's 3 investor-owned utilities. As of September, 2009, the rebates range from $1.10 to $1.90 per AC watt.[1]

Residential Solar Incentive Program
Go Solar L.A.! As of 10:00 AM, September 1, we reopened the Solar Incentive Program (SIP), which provides a one-time incentive payment to LADWP residential and commercial customers who install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on their property. We appreciate your patience and feedback throughout the process of revising the program and “catching up” with the high volume of applications, pending inspections, and rebate requests. Aimed at meeting the goals of the state’s SB 1 “Million Solar Roofs” legislation, the program is designed to reduce customers’ cost of installing solar PV systems. In doing so, our goal is to spark the installation of reliable, well-designed solar generating systems throughout the City and to help establish a robust and viable solar PV industry in Los Angeles. Learn about the revised program guidelines, news, updates and announcements.
