This round of the Solar Thermal Rebate Program is over. You may read the information below to get an idea of what the rebate program is like, but please stay tuned for future incentives.
The Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC), Boulder County and the City of Boulder are pleased to announce that they have been selected by The Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) and the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (CoSEIA) to administer its Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW) Rebate Program in Boulder County, effective February 2, 2009.
The Solar Rebate Program was created by the Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) in response to the growing demand for renewable energy incentives to allow homeowners and businesses to harness Colorado's abundant solar resources. CoSEIA is administering the program for the GEO. The Program is designed to provide rebates for solar technologies to Colorado residents and businesses in the state of Colorado. The GEO provides matching grants to Program Partners with the goal of developing local solar rebate programs. By partnering with cities, utilities, and non-profit organizations through a matching grant program, the funding for rebates is effectively doubled. |
