What is the standard rebate rate?
The standard rebate rate for EPBB is what the state would pay you for your solar system per watt under “ideal conditions”. The current (May ’07) standard rebate rate is $2.50/watt. This is to change gradually (so better be fast to get the most!). Will you be getting $2.50/watt of your installation? Not unless your system is 100% efficient and you are living in Orange County. The EPBB calculator will ask you several questions regarding panel efficiency, orientation, etc. and your overall performance will be evaluated. Based on your overall performance your rebate will be calculated.
