Solar Water Heater Program
Solar Water Heating Program
Adding a solar water heater to your house can save you money by reducing
your water-heating costs. EPUD offers zero-interest loans and incentives to help you purchase a
solar water heating system.
Qualified customers may receive a zero-interest loan of up to
$7,500 as well as a $600 cash incentive. You can take up to 60 months to repay the loan. A state tax
credit for up to $1,500 is also available for qualified systems. We can
assist you in obtaining the tax credit.
Program Steps
- EPUD provides a list of approved installers from whom you can obtain bids (see related documents).
- The contractor you choose will verify
that you have electric water heating and will give you information about
our program and about their systems. The contractor also checks the
site for adequate solar access.
- If you decide to purchase a solar
system, we will review and approve the installation contract and process
a loan application if necessary.
- The contractor secures the necessary
building permits and installs the system on your rooftop.
- EPUD inspects the system to ensure you have a proper installation.
- When installation is approved, EPUD will issue a check for the incentive and
process your loan application.
