Sierra Pacific Power Co. will offer cash rebates to residential customers who install solar-power generating technology.
Beginning Monday, Sierra Pacific will begin accepting applications on its Web site at www.solargenerations.com.
The power generator will accept applications on a first-come, first-serve basis for 15 days. The cutoff for applications is July 31. The projects approved for rebate must be completed by Dec. 31.
Senior program manager John Hargrove said that no more than six applications will be accepted.
"It's a limiting number no question about it," Hargrove said. "But this is a very expensive thing to do."
Sierra Pacific serves more than 40,000 residential customers.
The rebate will be a maximum of $15,000 per household and could be less depending on the amount of electricity the customer can produce. Customers can also learn more about the program by calling (866) 786-3823 or e-mail info@SolarGenerations.com.
