In January 2007, the State of California launched Go Solar California, which included two new solar incentive programs, with slightly modified program requirements compared to the older programs. The Energy Commission provides incentives to energy efficient new home construction under the New Solar Homes Partnership. All other facilities in investor-owned utility territories receive rebates from the CPUC-administered program, the California Solar Initiative, which covers the installation of solar electricity on existing homes.

The California Solar Initiative has a budget of over $2 billion dollars available in a plan where incentives are gradually reduced in steps until the funds are used or until 2016.

Those familiar with the "Bailout Bill" (H.R. 1424) that provides $700 billion to provide funds for U.S. banks and businesses may not know that it also had a provision that extends a number of renewable energy tax breaks for individuals and businesses.
