HB & Sharp Solar launch Hometown solar rebate July 06, 2009
 Today the City of Huntington Beach and Sharp Solar Energy Solutions Group announced the ‘Huntington Beach Hometown Solar Rebate’, an integral component of a program to accelerate the use of solar power in the City. This residential solar incentive program was developed through a unique collaboration between the City of Huntington Beach and Sharp, and will commence following Mayor Keith Bohr’s formal announcement at the City Council meeting of July 6th. New homeowner solar rebate applications will help spur the installation of scores of residential solar power systems in Huntington Beach, where Sharp’s Solar Energy Solutions Group is based.
Over the years, thanks to the City’s ocean, sun and surf-loving residents, Huntington Beach has become one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the nation.
“Huntington Beach has set a goal of having 8.5MW of solar deployed in under 5 years,” said Huntington Beach Mayor Keith Bohr. “We are thrilled that our stellar hometown solar powerhouse, Sharp, has created this terrific rebate program in conjunction with Huntington Beach and its participating solar installers — in an effort to site clean, reliable, emissions-free solar power systems here.”
“Sharp has a long tradition of being a responsible corporate citizen in the communities where it has a presence; we’re proud to be facilitating Huntington Beach’s greater use of solar power,” said Ron Kenedi, vice president of Sharp Solar Energy Solutions Group. “Solar is a perfect fit for a community with a strong commitment to the environment and resource protection. These new solar projects will be generating clean electricity for decades to come — achieving tremendous overall utility savings for customers. They’ll help provide our City and our region with emissions-free renewable power, while helping to reduce pressure on the electrical grid.”
Program details
Several Sharp installers will offer a rebate on the purchase of a Sharp solar system – both OnEnergyTM systems and other Sharp modules. Here’s how the program will work:
• Through the HB Goes Green website: http://surfcity-hb.org/Residents/green_city/solar/ a prospective Huntington Beach solar customer can request to be contacted by a Sharp pre-approved installer.
• The installer confirms that the home address is within the City of Huntington Beach during the follow-up call or site evaluation. Residents living in the following zip codes are eligible for the program: 92647, 92648, 92649, and 92646.
• The rebate will be incorporated into the installer’s system installation proposal, reducing the up-front cost of the system.
• The rebate will be $150/kW, up to a maximum of 10 kW.
Huntington Beach’s goal of 8.5 MW of new solar deployment by 2012 is broken into three categories: 4 MW of residential (1,000 systems), 2.5 MW of municipal, and 2 MW of commercial solar.
Since 2007, a total of 47 residential and small commercial systems have been installed in Huntington Beach, for a total of 227 kW (4.8 kW average system size); one large (approximately 30kW) commercial system has been installed.
