Thinking about going solar? Austin Energy is helping homeowners make the switch to renewable energy with an increased home solar rebate of $4,000 for eligible projects.
Why Go Solar?
Solar energy offers benefits that go beyond reducing your electric bill. When you install a solar system, you can:
- Generate renewable energy from your rooftop
- Receive monthly bill credits through Austin Energy's Value of Solar rate
- Support Austin's clean energy goals
Every kilowatt-hour your solar system produces helps create cleaner energy for our community.
Get Solar Smart and $4,000 Back
Austin Energy now offers an increased rebate of $4,000 for eligible home solar installations.
The rebate helps lower the cost of going solar, making it more affordable for homeowners to invest in clean energy.
Earn Bill Credits with the Value of Solar
Austin Energy customers receive electric bill credits based on the energy their solar system generates through the Value of Solar rate.
This approach recognizes the benefits that local solar energy provides to the electric grid and the community. The more energy your system produces, the more bill credits you can earn.
Is Solar Right for Your Home?
Many Austin homes are good candidates for solar, especially those with:
- Roofs that receive plenty of sunlight
- Minimal shading from trees or nearby structures
- Good roof condition
A participating solar contractor can evaluate your property and estimate your potential savings.
