Note: The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (PUC) announced in late July 2011 that all program funds supported by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) had been awarded. Applications for these funds are still being accepted in case any existing reservations expire and funds become available, but any funds that become available will be minimal. The summary below describes the state-funded component of the rebate program, which is still in effect. Note that rebate levels will be reduced by $150 when the program budget reaches $100,000 or when total program participation reaches 400 applicants, whichever comes first. Contact the PUC to find out about the current status of the program.

New Hampshire offers a rebate for solar water-heating systems and solar space-heating systems. The rebate is equal to $1,500 for systems rated output 5.5 MMBTU - 19.9 MMBTU; $1,700 for systems rated output of 20 MMBTU - 29.9 MMBTU; and $1,900 for systems rated output of 30 MMBTU or more. Rebates will be awarded for eligible projects as long as program funding is available.

The application process consists of two steps. The first step is required for pre-approval and to reserve a rebate, and the second step is the final application for payment. Systems must be installed by a qualified installer authorized to do business in New Hampshire. Self-installs are allowed, but such installers are encouraged to work with the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative. See the program web site for more information.

This program is funded by alternative compliance payments from the state's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) made into the state's Renewable Energy Fund. More Information: New Hampshire Website
