The JEA Solar Incentive Program provides rebates to JEA's residential and commercial customers who install new and retrofit solar hot water heaters on homes and businesses. Incentives for new solar thermal systems installed by an approved contractor include:

* Residential solar water heaters installed by local installer: $800 per installation
* Commercial solar water heaters installed by local installer: 30% of total installed cost (up to $5,000)
Since the program's inception in 2002 through February 2010, a total of 671 solar water heater systems have been installed under the program. The incentive applies to the installation of solar water heating systems; pool heating systems and photovoltaic (PV) systems are not eligible for the rebate. If other incentives (rebates, grants, etc.) are used to fund a solar hot water system, total funding, including JEA funding, cannot exceed the cost of the system.
Residential customers located in Jacksonville can also take advantage of a $1,000 rebate from the City of Jacksonville. The City of Jacksonville rebate is only offered through JEA and is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
