City of Mesa Electric Customer Solar Pilot Program

SolarSkycloudsMesa's Energy Resources Department is launching a new one-year solar pilot program that will provide up to $100,000 in incentives to qualified residents and business owners in its electric service area who purchase and install a solar photovoltaic (P.V.) system. Since funding is limited, participants who qualify for the program will be selected on a first-come, first-served basisbased on application submittal and acceptance. The program will run from July 2012 through June of 2013.

Incentives for residential program participants will be limited to $5000 ($1.00 per watt) for up to five kilowatts (kW). Commercial participants' incentives will be limited to $10,000 (up to 10-kW).

  RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL
INCENTIVE ( $ / kW  ) $ 1,000 $ 1,000
MAX INCENTIVE  $5,000  $10,000
ANNUAL BUDGET $ 50,000 $ 50,000

In exchange for the incentive payment, the City receives the associated renewable energy credits and environmental benefits. A net metering program will also be available under which the City will purchase, from qualified net metering customers, energy produced from their P.V. system that is in excess of what they used.
