Solar Water Heater Rebates
Save with a solar water heater
Your water heater is one of the biggest energy users in your home or business.
Switch to a solar water heater, with your gas or electric heater as a backup, and you can reduce costs up to 50 percent, according to ENERGY STAR®. Plus, by taking advantage of a CPS Energy rebate and federal tax credits, you can significantly cut the initial cost of the investment. All while making a positive impact on the environment.
Available to any CPS Energy residential or commercial customer, our solar water heater rebates are:
- Based on SRCC’s calculated annual kWh Energy Savings performance table for San Antonio.
