In October 2010, the CSI Nonresidential Program in SDG&E territory exhausted its budget.  Consequently, the CSI-Thermal (Solar Water Heating) Program’s budget for electric-displacing Commercial/Multifamily projects has been exhausted, since it shares the rebate budget with the CSI Nonresidential Program.

Further incentives for this program may be available if previously reserved projects drop out of the CSI Program. Therefore, CCSE recommends that applicants continue to submit reservation requests to be included on the CSI Non-Residential Project Waitlist. For more information regarding the interim Wait List process, please click here.

It is important to note that this budget issue does not affect any of the following types of Solar Water Heating project applications:

• Electric-displacing Multifamily projects that are under a residential rate schedule with SDG&E (Multifamily projects under a commercial rate schedule with SDG&E will be waitlisted)
• Gas-displacing Commercial/Multifamily Solar Water Heating projects
• Single-family Solar Water Heating projects
