Solar energy systems are expensive. Fortunately, there are a wide range of federal, state and local programs that substantially offset these costs in the form of tax credits, rebates, grants, loans, leasing and direct equipment sales. A complete and up-to-date list of state and local programs is maintained at DSIRE, the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy. Please note that these programs are limited. .For example, California's rebate program runs out of funding well before the end of the year. This section goes into more detail on programs offered to Massachusetts business and residential customers. Business and Residential Solar Energy Financial IncentivesMassachusetts offers one of the best solar energy system incentive programs in the country. Their new Open PV Program will begin taking rebate reservations in December 2002 on a first come, first served basis. This program is only available to commercial and residential customers in Investor Owned Utility districts. At a level of $5.00 per watt AC, this rebate level is among the highest in the country. 70% of the rebate will be paid within 30 days after installation, and the balance will be paid based on actual system output over a three year period. The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative website has more information about these incentives. Federal Business Solar Energy Incentives
