Mohave Electric Cooperative (MEC)

SunWatts is Mohave’s program to support renewable energy programs in our service territory. Existing and new renewable energy sources contribute to the reduction of dependence on fossil fuels and also provide clean electricity.

The SunWatts Renewable Energy Incentive Program is available for members interested in using alternative (green) energy sources. The program offers rebates for residential and commercial members who install qualified photovoltaic (solar) systems, wind generators, or solar water heaters to supplement their energy needs.

These incentive programs, together with other large scale renewable energy projects help Mohave meet goals established by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC).

Residential Incentive Programs

Mohave Electric offers incentives to residential customers for the purchase and installation of qualifying photovoltaic (solar) systems, wind generators, or solar water heating.

Reservation applications for incentives and program enrollment applications are required before the system is installed. Incentives are paid after the completed project has been verified and met all program terms and conditions.

Total available 2018 funding for residential, commercial, and solar water heating incentives is $26,000.

 

Residential PV and Small Wind Systems

For residential systems, the combined generation at the location is limited to a maximum of 125% of the total connected load and is limited to one installation per service entrance. The maximum amount of an incentive payment is $2,500.

For qualified residential and small commercial photovoltaic or wind renewable energy systems up to 50kW in size, Mohave Electric will pay its members $0.05/watt of installed nameplate capacity, not to exceed $2,500.

Members must submit a reservation form and application prior to system installation.

Residential Solar Water Heating

For residential solar water heating systems, Mohave Electric will provide an incentive of $0.75 per kWh of energy saved during the system’s first year of operation. Solar systems must be OG-300 certified to be eligible for the SunWatts incentive. A list of OG-300 certified solar systems is available at the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation’s website www.solar-rating.org. The incentive program only applies to those systems which replace a traditional electric water heater. The customer contribution to the cost of the solar water heater project must be a minimum of 15% of the total project cost after accounting for and applying all federal and state incentives. Solar swimming pool heating systems are not eligible for the incentive program.

Members must submit a reservation form and application prior to system installation.
