R3 - Richmond Recovery solar Rebate program

The City’s Environment Initiatives Division is proud to launch the new Richmond Recovery solar Rebate program – R3 (“R cubed”).  The City is providing solar rebates to homeowners in an effort to increase solar installations and stimulate the local economy.  R3 currently offers two rebate amounts including a generous rebate for any income homeowners and free solar installations for qualifying lower income homeowners through a partnership with the non-profit GRID Alternatives.  Participants in the any income rebate can typically expect $3,000 to $7,000 rebate depending on system size.  Participants in the lower income rebate must meet the income requirements, which begin at $46,050 for a one person household and increase for each additional member.     

Funds for R3 are limited.  We encourage all interested homeowners to contact a local Richmond contractor and complete your program reservation soon.  For more information and a program application, please visit www.richmondenvironment.org.  If you have any questions, please email program staff at r3@ci.richmond.ca.us or call 510.620.5537.
