Incentive levels for PV systems are as follows:

  • $0.20/watt (lower of AC and DC) for new solar electric facilities (Step 1 application received on or after March 16, 2020); and
  • Expansions to existing solar systems are not eligible.

Incentive levels for solar thermal systems are as follows:
