Solar Program

In 2006, the California legislature passed SB-1, which is commonly called the California Solar Initiative. It mandates utilities put into place programs to assure that 3000MW of solar installations on homes is in place within 10 years.

The Merced Irrigation District offers a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Buydown Program. The program offers monetary incentives for systems up to the first 3 kW residential or 25 kW commercial of alternating current generated by an eligible solar energy system.
