Austin Energy - Commercial Solar PV Rebate Program
Administered by: Austin Energy
Quick Summary
Austin Energy offers commercial and nonprofit customers two ways to reduce solar installation costs: a capacity-based incentive providing an upfront payment (up to $1.00 per Watt for nonprofits or $0.70 per Watt for commercial systems under 100 kW), or a performance-based incentive earning credits on your bill based on monthly energy production ($0.10/kWh for systems under 400 kW, declining for larger systems). To apply, work with a participating Austin Energy solar contractor who will submit your application and guide you through the approval process, which requires you to have a commercial utility account and cannot use third-party power purchase agreements.
