. (a) The rebates provided through this program shall decline
over time. They shall be structured so as to drive down the cost of
the solar water heating technologies, and be paid out on a
performance-based incentive basis so that incentives are earned based
on the actual energy savings, or on predicted energy savings as
established by the commission.
(b) The commission shall consider federal tax credits and other
incentives available for this technology when determining the
appropriate rebate amount.
(c) The commission shall consider the impact of rebates for solar
water heating systems pursuant to this article on existing incentive
programs for energy efficiency technology.
(d) In coordination with the commission, the Energy Commission
shall consider, when appropriate, coupling rebates for solar water
heating systems with complementary energy efficiency technologies,
including, but not limited to, efficient hot water heating tanks and
tankless or on demand hot water systems that can be installed in
addition to the solar water heating system.
