The solar rebates are still there though they are getting smaller.
The California rebates are still there, but they are on a stepped program.
The price paid per watt is decreasing over time. This rebate is for on grid
systems only. I got $1.90 per watt last year. Now it is down to $0.35 to
$1.10 per watt, depending on which utility you are connected to.

There is also the federal 30 percent tax credit.

I heard that the solar rebates went away. Is this true?
