City of Mesa Electric Customer Solar Pilot Program
Mesa'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).

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.
