MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 30, 2014 12:08 PM
From: Representative Greg Vitali
To: All House members
Subject: Funding the Pa. Sunshine Solar Program
 
When we return to session, I intend to introduce legislation that would provide a dedicated funding source for the Pennsylvania Sunshine Solar Program. This program provided residential homeowners, small business and non-profits who install solar systems a rebate of up to 10% of the cost of the system. This extremely popular program was created in 2008 and funded with a $100 million bond. It ran out of funds at the end of 2013.

This legislation would increase the Gross Receipts Tax on utility companies by 1.25 mills, from 59 to 60.25, and provide the increased funding to the Sunshine Solar Program. This additional funding is expected to yield about $25 million annually.

Introduced as HB200
