Wyoming Solar Rebates

Wyoming has not been totally dormant in regard to solar power; it just hasn't done much. There is plenty of solar, and wind, potential in the Equality State but that potential is largely getting the "coaled" shoulder from the state legislature. There is little hope for Wyoming residents until, at the earliest, the start of the 2009 legislative session. In the meantime, here is what you can expect:

REBATES & INCENTIVES

Photovoltaic Incentive Program

  • This incentive looks great at first glance: PV systems (no size specified) are eligible for a rebate of up to 50% of system costs. But there are two catches...
  • Incentives are capped at just $3,000.
  • Program budget is limited to $75,000 per year. That amounts to only 25 possible rebates per year.

NET METERING

  • PV systems up to 25 kW are eligible for net metering under Wyoming law.
  • There is no enrollment limit and net excess generation (NEG) is credited to the customer's next monthly bill and, at the end of the annual billing cycle, is purchased from the customer at the utility's wholesale rate.

And that's it so far. There is a sales tax exemption in place, but it is only available to commercial installations. Wyoming has some good ideas regarding solar power, but they need to be expanded and some new ideas should be adopted. Property tax exemptions are always nice. The biggest difference could be made simply by increasing the maximum incentive and available funds of the state's PV incentive program. We shall see what 2009 has to offer...

Here is what some folks have said about CalFinder Contractors:

We cannot say enough about California Construction Center and our expert designer, Jonathan, who designed the historic remodel of our attic space in our 1910 Craftsman bungalow. We had an unfinished attic that we wanted to convert to a Master bedroom and possibly add a new bathroom, and needed a new furnace and water heater, but didn't know where to begin. When we first met Jonathan, we felt we were in good hands. We felt a sense of trust, respect, and the feeling that we weren't being pushed to do or pay for anything extra. He took the time to listen to our ideas, answer our questions, and provide us with ideas that we hadn't considered throughout the design process that were perfect for our old home. The new space is energy efficient and feels like it was always a bedroom space, while the bathroom is modern, but has the historic details of our home. We always felt like our ideas and suggestions for the remodel were taken into consideration. The designing and remodeling project could have been so stressful, but Jonathan and the California Construction Center team made it flow smoothly by being available to us during the months of work: answering questions, limiting disruptions, and handling contractors. Minor mishaps (that happen during any remodel) were handled quickly and efficiently, and Jonathan was persistent in making sure they were solved. We regularly receive complements on the quality of the work and the great design!
