Here is the latest update on California solar rebates. But before you skip down, understand this:

• Solar panel and installation prices are falling, but so are the California subsidies.
• The rebate cash you’ll receive depends on your utility and how many of people have already gone solar.
• The more people go solar within a particular utility, the rebate goes to a lower “step.”
• On top of this, you may still qualify for the 30% Federal Energy Tax Credit.

Below is the cash rebate that you can expect right now if you buy an average 4kW solar system. Keep in mind that you may need a smaller–or larger–system for your electricity needs.  If you want a more exact estimate, you can get a FREE solar evaluation here They’ve got a choice of solar installers representing all the top solar manufacturers.

Notes:

• Remember that your city may also have extra rebates, such as San Francisco.
• Also, everyone in America gets a 30% Federal Tax Credit on top of every local rebate.
• You may also benefit from other incentives such as net metering, time of use (TOU),  tiered rates, and a new feed-in tariff.
• Go solar sooner rather than later.
