New Solar Homes Partnership - Staff Draft GUIDEBOOOK

Publication Number:    CEC-300-2006-017-D

Abstract:
The New Solar Homes Partnership provides incentives and support activities for installing eligible solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on new residential buildings that receive electricity from specified investor-owned utilities. The Energy Commission oversees the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP). This Guidebook describes the requirements to receive incentives for constructing energy efficient, solar homes under the NSHP.

The goal of the NSHP is to create a self-sustaining market for solar homes where builders incorporate high levels of energy efficiency and high performing solar systems. The NSHP provides financial incentives and non-financial assistance in the form of builder and market support to accomplish this goal.
