3 1. Program Summary The goal of the Richmond Recovery Rebate (R 3 ) program is to increase the number of residential solar installations in the City of Richmond by providing rebate payments to homeowners. The R 3 program demonstrates the City s commitment to a sustainable energy future and the creation of quality jobs for Richmond residents. The City of Richmond has allocated $415,454 of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to stimulate the local business economy and increase the amount of renewable energy resources in the City. The City aims to provide residents with a solar rebate program that incorporates triple bottom line principles: social equity, economic opportunity and environmental sustainability. The R 3 program is estimated to generate over $2 million dollars of work for Richmond contractors and install solar on over 100 Richmond homes, advancing the city s energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction goals. The program offers a one-time rebate payment to local solar electric projects to reduce the cost of solar installation. At this point in time, R 3 payments are provided to residential solar photovoltaics only, and not to commercial, government or non-profit entities. Rebates will be awarded on a first-come-firstserved basis. 2. Rebate Tiers and Qualifications The R 3 program currently offers rebates to residential customers only. The City highly encourages residents to employ local residents and contractors on their solar installation. The Richmond Recovery Rebate will have the following two rebate levels: Tier Rebate Amount Description Income Requirements Low Income Household FREE Offered to low-income Richmond households that qualify for the Single-family Affordable Solar Homes program. Low-income Richmond households. Resident must make less than 80% Average Median Income and be located in the Enterprise Zone or meet affordable housing requirements. Any Income Household $1.50 per CEC watt Offered to all Richmond households regardless of income. At least 1/3 of the on-site installation work must be completed by a RichmondBUILD graduate. No income requirements - 2 -

4 The Richmond recovery rebate will not be paid out under any circumstances in excess of net system cost after state incentives, irrespective of the limits described in the tables. For a more thorough description of each rebate offered, please continue to their respective sections in this document. 3. Rebate for Low-Income Households Qualifying low-income households will leverage two different solar rebates for a free solar installation. The first rebate is provided by the Single-family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH) Program administered by the non-profit GRID Alternatives. The second rebate is provided by the City s R 3 program. Together these rebates will fund 100% of the solar installation and equipment costs. Residents who qualify for SASH will pay $0 and receive a free solar installation. 3.1 Eligibility & Requirements Homeowners must first qualify for the SASH program. Homeowners that qualify for SASH automatically qualify to participate in the City s low-income R 3 rebate. The SASH program requires that Richmond residents satisfy the following two basic requirements: income and affordable housing Income Requirements Households must make less than 80% Average Median Income* or be a PG&E low-income qualified household under the CARE ratepayer. The 80% Median Income requirements are provided below: Household Size Annual Gross Income $46,050 $52,600 $59,200 $65,750 $71,050 $76,300 $81,550 $86,

5 3.1.2 Affordable Housing Requirements Participants must satisfy one of the two requirements to fulfill the affordable housing requirement. 1. Households must be located in the City s Enterprise Zone. Applicants are encouraged to use the City s map and address roster below to determine if their home is located in the City s Enterprise Zone. A map of the Enterprise Zone is provided on the following page. Enterprise Zone Map: E.pdf Enterprise Zone Address Roster: ZoneAddressRoster.pdf 2. Households may also be deemed as affordable housing as defined by California Public Utilities (P.U.) Code Section 2852, which is generally defined as a home that cannot be sold without restrictions on the real estate market. This can take many forms, which include the following: Single-family home has a resale restriction or an equity sharing agreement with a public entity or nonprofit affordable housing provider Single-family home is part of a multi-family complex supported by public funds to enable selling the home at an affordable cost to low-income families. Resale is restricted to selling the home to other low-income families Single-family home was purchased or renovated through a first time homebuyer program or home improvement loan program that uses state or federal HOME funding Other: Implicit resale restrictions - 4 -

7 3.2 What forms do I need to complete? GRID Alternatives will qualify the homeowner to participate in the SASH program. After the homeowner qualifies for the SASH program, GRID Alternatives will guide the homeowner through the R 3 application process. The following documents must be submitted by GRID Alternatives to receive the R 3 rebate: R 3 Reservation Application Attachment A R 3 Service Agreement Form Copy of City electrical permit & inspection Copy of SASH contract & scope of work 3.3 Application Process The best way to be certain whether your home qualifies for a free solar installation is to contact GRID Alternatives. Phone: (866) or sash@gridalternatives.org Website:

8 4. Rebate for Any Income Households The City of Richmond will be offering an R 3 rebate to all households in Richmond, regardless of income levels. Each project is required to have one third of the on-site work completed by a graduate of the City s green collar job training program RichmondBUILD. 4.1 Eligibility and Requirements The following are the basic eligibility requirements to participate in the R 3 program. Single family homes, townhomes and multifamily complexes that are owned by an individual and not a business entity are eligible for R 3. The property must be located within the City of Richmond. The R 3 Rebate are currently only being awarded for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Installations must be a minimum of one kilowatt (kw) and a maximum of ten kw. Published R 3 rebate rates may be reduced at any time prior to reservation confirmation. The R 3 Rebate amount is determined size of the solar system and the California Energy Commission s (CEC) system wattage. All households are required to have an energy efficiency audit conducted on their existing home before solar rebates are paid. 4.2 Any Income Rebate Levels The R 3 rebate provides a rebate that is based off of the expected power delivery of the solar installation. The expected power delivery is determined by the California Energy Commission s (CEC) online calculator that factors the size of the system and efficiency of the panels and invertors. R 3 will provide a rebate of $1.50 per CEC watt installed. 4.3 Additional Funding Opportunities Applicants are encouraged to take advantage of the State s California Solar Initiative (CSI) rebate and the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to decrease the cost of installing solar. The State s CSI rebate provides an additional rebate similar to R 3. The IRS grants tax breaks to homeowners that install solar with the Federal Investment Tax Credit.

9 4.4 Application Process R 3 has a simple two phase application process. Phase I is the reservation phase. Phase II is the installation phase. Once the reservation phase has been completed, homeowners will have two months to complete Phase II. A detailed description of each step is provided below: Reservation Phase I Installation Phase II Step 1 Conduct an energy efficiency audit. Step 5 Obtain an electrical permit Step 2 Find an installer Step 6 Install Solar PV System Step 3 Submit R 3 reservation application Step 7 Inspection by Building Department Step 4 Receive R 3 reservation confirmation Step 8 Submit R 3 claim form Receive R 3 rebate check

10 Step 1 Conduct an Energy Efficiency Audit Making your home energy efficient before you install solar energy is essential to making your system as economical and efficient as possible. Energy-saving actions such as changing incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and replacing old, inefficient appliances are the best way to save energy and money while providing real, lasting benefits to the environment. Energy efficiency measures also help reduce the size of the solar system you need, saving you thousands of dollars in up-front installation costs. Participants are encouraged to look on the new statewide energy efficiency website for a comprehensive list of energy efficiency rebates and incentives: All households are required to have an energy efficiency audit conducted on their existing home before solar rebates application is submitted. Residents can fulfill this requirement by completing one of the following: a. Providing proof of completing PG&E s online SmartEnergy Analyzer. b. Providing proof of having completed an energy efficiency audit within the last two years. The CESC SmartSolar program provides a $200 rebate for audits for homes. Visit their website at call or smartsolar@ebenergy.org to participate in their program. Step 2 - Find an Installer To qualify for the R 3 rebate, at least 1/3 of the on-site work must be completed by a RichmondBUILD graduate. Homeowners are strongly encouraged to hire contractors that are located in Richmond. It is highly recommended that the homeowner address this R 3 requirement with the contractor early on in the process. Licensed and experienced contractors are the key to getting the most productive solar energy system possible. Solar energy systems must be designed and installed in conformance with the manufacturer's specifications and with all applicable electrical and building codes and standards. All systems must be installed by appropriately licensed California contractors in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the State of California Contractors State Licensing Board (CSLB). Solar installation contractors must have an A, B, C-10 or a C-46 license for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The State of California provides a list of pre-qualified solar installers online at Searching for a solar installer by zip code is the fastest way to find a solar installer closest to you. Solar installers typically provide free site evaluations, comprehensive quotes and payback information. A list of solar installers located in Richmond is provided below: Company Name Phone Address Website Ally Electric and Solar Inc Barrett Avenue info@allyelectrical.com Clean Power Depot Inc S 42nd Street info@mslsolar.com Creative Energy Corporation Regatta Blvd davidk@creativeenergy.com H-Ion Solar Inc Monterey Avenue hionsolar@aol.com Net Electric & Solar Cutting Blvd Suite C Nate.tyler@netelectric.biz SunPower Corporation Harbour Way South residentialservice@sunpowercorp.com Trillia Associates Quail Hill Lane georgetrillia@comcast.net - 9 -

11 Step 3 Submit R 3 Reservation Application Typically, the solar installer will apply for R 3 incentives on the customer's behalf. The applicant must submit the following documents to the R 3 program. 1. A completed and signed R 3 application form (Attachment A) 2. A completed report from the California Solar Initiative's EPBB Incentive Calculator: (save and print the file from the website) 3. Proof of an energy efficiency audit Please be sure to double-check the eligibility and completeness of an application before submitting. Mail complete application package to: Attention: Richmond Recovery Rebate (R 3 ) Environmental Initiatives Division City Manager s Office 450 Civic Center Plaza Richmond, CA Step 4 Receive R 3 Reservation Confirmation City staff will review the application package and verify required documents for completeness and accuracy. If approved, the City will send an electronic and hard copy reservation letter confirming that funds are being reserved for two months to the homeowner and solar installer. If the application is not approved, the City will contact the installer and homeowner for necessary corrections to the application or supporting documents. An incentive reservation has a lifetime of two months from the date of the R 3 reservation letter. If a reservation expires, a new application must be submitted. Extensions may be granted to applicants that have pulled building permits and are in the installation process. Step 5 - Obtain an Electrical Permit As part of the installation process, your solar installer generally handles permits required by the City. Before installing a PV system, projects must apply for an electrical permit from the City s Building Department. If a permit is not pulled for the PV system, the City will not provide an R 3 rebate. Permit Center is located at: 450 Civic Center Plaza - 2 nd Floor Richmond, CA Mon Fri 8:30 am - 4:00 pm Phone: Website: Step 6 - Install Solar PV System Systems must be installed in conformance with the manufacturers specifications and with all applicable electrical and building codes and standards including California Electrical Code, article

12 Step 7 - Inspection by Building Department When the solar installation is complete, a building inspector from the City s Building Department will verify that the system conforms to building and safety codes. The building inspector will also verify that the system was installed as designed and specified in the original application and the equipment functions properly. After the solar system passes inspection, the solar system must remain in the off position. Turning the solar system on before the standard utility meter is replaced with a solar meter may cause billing errors and additional charges in the customer electric bill. The PV system will not be allowed to interconnect until PG&E replaces the old utility meter with a new Net-Meter capable of spinning and recording net energy in both directions. As soon as new utility meter is installed by PG&E, PG&E will send Letter of Interconnection authorizing customer to turn the solar system on. Step 8 - Submit R 3 Claim Form The City will process the R 3 claim form upon receipt of the following documents: 1. Copy of the R3 reservation confirmation 2. A signed copy of the R3 program agreement form 3. Copy of the electrical permit final inspection sign-off by City inspector 4. Copy of the itemized final sales invoice 5. A copy of the Permission to Operate notice from PG&E verifying interconnection of the system to the GRID 6. Payroll documentation proving that at least one third of on-site work was completed by a RichmondBUILD graduate 7. A copy of the CSI Approval of Incentive Payment from PG&E (if applicable) Step 9 - Receive Rebate Check The City of Richmond will respond within two weeks if additional information is needed. Customer will receive a rebate check within one month after submitting all the required R 3 program documents. Site inspections may be conducted for certain projects selected at random, or for non-typical projects, at the City s and or PG&E s discretion. If a site inspection is considered necessary, City staff will contact the parties to arrange a visit

13 5. Technical Requirements All PV systems must meet the technical requirements listed in California s Electrical Code Article 690 as described below: a. It is the intent of the R 3 Program to provide rebates for reliable, permanent, safe systems that are professionally installed, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

R 3 will perform random field inspections to verify system characteristics. 6. Frequently Asked Questions Where can I find an application and additional information about the R 3 program? All applications and program related materials can be found at the City s environmental webpage. Where can I find third party help to review the bids I receive from solar contractors? The non-profit Community Energy Services Corporation offers the free Smart Solar consultation to households considering going solar. Smart Solar offers the following services: - Independent advice on your property's solar potential - A FREE Solar Assessment of the best solar solutions for your needs - Objective analysis of your solar or energy efficiency project bids - Educational materials and tools to help you feel confident about your future investment - Assistance throughout your project, from proposal to installation Smart Solar Phone: Smart Solar smartsolar@ebenergy.org Smart Solar Website: Who can be paid, and how? The R 3 payment may be made to any one of the parties identified on a solar installation project: Host Customer, Installer, or GRID Alternatives (the administrator of the low-income SASH program). It is up to the parties themselves to decide on a payee. Only the Host Customer can actually designate payment designation by signing the relevant signature boxes on the reservation application. Why am I asked to assign renewable energy credits to the City? The rebate program requires the System Owner to transfer ownership of a system s renewable energy credits (RECs) to the City. Assigning RECs to the City allows renewable power from the system to be accounted for at the whole city level, thereby contributing to the City of Richmond s overall greenhouse gas reduction goals. Who do I call if I have any questions? All program information is listed on the City s website. Questions may be submitted by to adam_lenz@ci.richmond.ca.us or by calling
