当太阳能发电技术成本降低时,许多居民和企业纷纷涌入 ——然而Arizona州凤凰城以及图森等地区的太阳能光伏退税补贴已遭削减。
图森电力最近对安装其太阳能电池板的居民进行了补贴削减,以此应对“前所未有”的需求。
今年,由于太阳能技术来降低成本,美国Arizona州南部1100多人保留了TEP SunShare补贴回扣 - 超过前9年总和。
TEP,UniSource能源公司的一分支,现在是请求Arizona监管委员会批将Sunshare的并网补贴从原来的3美元每瓦降低到2.25美元每瓦。
如果监管机构同意,此举将影响2010年7月7日后申请安装的用户。
Residents and businesses are flocking to the solar banner as technology costs reduce - in Arizona, rebates have been cut in Phoenix as well as Tucson
Tucson Electric Power has become the latest utility to lower its rebates for residents who install solar panels, as a response to “unprecedented” demand.
Lower costs of solar technology have prompted 1,100 people in southern Arizona to reserve TEP SunShare rebates this year – more than the previous nine years combined.
TEP, which is part of UniSource Energy Corporation, is now asking the Arizona Corporation Commission for permission to cut its SunShare rebates from $3 to $2.25 per watt for grid-tied photovoltaic projects.
If the regulators agree, the move would affect applications received after July 7, 2010.
