The California Energy Commission’s Emerging Renewables Program provides rebates<br />
to residential, institutional, commercial, agricultural and industrial consumers who install<br />
qualifying renewable energy systems. Financial incentives vary according to the system<br />
size, technology and installation method, with fuel cell installations eligible for a rebate of<br />
up to $3.20/Watt for projects under 30 kW. <strong>Fuel</strong> cells must be powered by sewer gas,<br />
landfill gas, or other renewable sources of hydrogen or hydrogen rich gases into<br />
electricity by a direct chemical process.<br />
