Summary

SMUD - Solar Water Heater Rebate Program

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District's (SMUD) Solar Domestic Hot Water Program provides rebates and/or loan financing to customers who install solar water heating systems. The amount of the rebate depends on how much electricity the system will offset annually:

800 - 1,399 kWh: $500

1,400 - 2,199 kWh: $1,000

2,200 kWh or greater: $1,500

All solar water-heating units must meet standards set by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC), be installed by a SMUD-approved solar contractor, and pass inspection by SMUD representatives.
