The Clean Energy Investment Committee of Connecticut Innovations (CI) approved several enhancements to the Solar PV Rebate Program, an initiative of the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF).

"The power provided by such systems can help consumers stabilize their electricity bills and can help reduce the strain on the electric grid in Southwest Connecticut."-- Lise Dondy, Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, president.

Enhancements include an increase in the residential installation size covered under the rebate from 5 kilowatts (kW) to 10 kW and a new funding basis for rebates on residential systems. Rebates will be calculated at up to $5 per watt applied to the first 5 kW and up to $4.30 per watt applied to the next 5 kW for systems that are larger than 5 kW.
