At the request of City Council staff have developed a proposed framework for residential solar and electric bike rebates

The proposed solar rebate program would build on prior momentum by providing financial incentives for solar panel installation and energy production. The program framework: 

• Proposes three scenarios (A, B, C) for a Residential program 
• Assumes a $50,000 incentive budget for the program 
• Features an equity component to assist low-income community members 

The proposed e-bike rebate program would build on growing momentum by providing financial incentives for locally purchased electric bicycles with an equity component for low-income customers. It also includes a rebate for electric bike conversions.
