Efficiency Maine Solar Energy Rebate Program
Funds are available for solar thermal systems, however, the photovoltaic (PV) money has been totally reserved through the end of the program in 2008. The 123rd Legislature extended the Maine Solar Program by two years to December 2010. Both thermal and PV systems will be refunded at $500,000 per year with 75% being allocated to thermal systems and 25% to PV. There are no funds available for new PV systems. Governor Baldacci’s Solar Initiative was signed into law on June 29th, 2005. The Solar Energy Rebate Program applies to solar electric and thermal energy systems purchased after July 1, 2005. The Maine Public Utilities Commission Rule Chapter 930 governs implementation of the Act.
