Commercial Solar Thermal Rebate for NCMPA1 Participant Customers
The commercial solar thermal program offers commercial electric customers a rebate for installation of a solar thermal energy system. Eligible customers will receive up to a $700 rebate for each certified solar thermal panel purchased and installed after January 1, 2009.
Solar thermal energy systems use the sun’s power to heat water and are typically used for a building’s main hot water consumption. Facilities such as cafeterias, restaurants, veterinary offices, community centers and health clubs are good candidates for a solar thermal energy system.
