The Go Solar California campaign, is part of California's larger fight against global warming. Over the campaign's 10-year span, the state will pump $3.3 billion into financial incentives for Californians who go solar, with the money drawn from utility bills. By the end of that time, the program should fund roughly 3,000 megawatts of new solar generation.
The Go Solar rebates were first offered in January 2007. Since then, the PUC has received 11,653 active applications, for projects capable of generating 251.5 megawatts. If approved, those projects will receive $635 million of incentives.
"We're on track to grow to 3,000 megawatts," said Molly Tirpak Sterkel, the solar project's supervisor for the Public Utilities Commission. "I have every reason to be very optimistic about the solar program."
