Power Saver™ Program
Solar Photovoltaics

Austin Energy offers rebates to help customers implement solar photovoltaic technology in their homes and businesses. The rebates help offset the cost of a solar photovoltaic electric system.

Note: As a municipally-owned utility, Austin Energy may only offer this program to its customers.

Austin Energy offers customers one of the country's best solar photovoltaic rebates, at $3.75 per watt. This pays between 40% and 60% of the cost of installing a system.

For a typical residence, the cost of installing a one kilowatt (1,000 watts) solar photovoltaic system—the smallest considered practical—is between $6,250 and $9,375. Austin Energy will rebate $3,750 ($3.75 x 1,000 watts) of that.
