Energy Rebates

Money for DMEA’s Solar Rebates is currently 100% allocated to reserved rebates. Please check this web site regularly as rebate money will likely become available.

DMEA – GEO Partnership

DMEA and the Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) have partnered to provide solar rebates to DMEA members.

Residential Systems:

For residential systems, have your contractor follow the rebate reservation and application process at the GEO’s web site www.rechargecolorado.com. The process at the GEO web site should be followed for both photovoltaic (solar electric) and thermal (solar hot water) systems.

The DMEA contribution for residential PV rebates is $1.50 per watt with a maximum rebate of $4,500. This amounts to a total rebate (DMEA plus GEO) of $3.00 per watt with a maximum rebate of $9,000.

The DMEA contribution for residential thermal systems ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 (see www.rechargecolorado.com for details) and requires that electricity is used as a backup energy source to heat the water.

All GEO requirements for residential solar rebates must be complied with to receive the DMEA portion of the rebate.

Commercial Systems:

For commercial systems, your contractor will have to apply for the GEO portion of the rebate at www.rechargecolorado.com and contact DMEA for the portion of the rebate that DMEA will provide. Your contractor must reserve the commercial rebate and provide verification of the reservation prior to reserving a rebate from DMEA.

For commercial PV (solar electric) systems, DMEA will provide a $1.50 per watt match with a maximum rebate of $4,500.

For commercial solar thermal (solar hot water) systems, DMEA will provide a maximum rebate amount of $3,000, and electricity must be the backup energy source to heat the water.
