Solar Photovoltaic Program
A $500 rebate is available to consumers for installing one kW (1,000 watts) of PV-generation per year. For more information on all of OTEC's rebate programs, click here.
Photovoltaic devices use semiconducting materials to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar radiation, which is nearly constant outside the Earth's atmosphere, varies with changing atmospheric conditions (clouds and dust) and the changing position of the Earth relative to the sun. Nevertheless, almost all U.S. regions have useful solar resources that can be accessed.
