- Current Offering: The SunSense Residential Solar PV program currently provides a $1,000 per kW ($1 per Watt) rebate for newly installed solar PV and a $4.50 per kW (capacity) per month credit for five years. These systems must be between 2 and 10 kW, use net metering and be on PEC’s time-of-use rate (TOU-D). Residential SunSense has approximately 300 participants, totaling more than 1 megawatt of solar capacity.
- Proposed Changes: Pending NC Utilities Commission approval, the upfront rebate of $1/watt AC installed will be reduced to $.50/watt AC. The ongoing credit or $4.50/kW AC per month for 5 years will not change. PEC expects to file with the commission soon, with changes effective in early 2013.”
