Free Hot Water Solar Collector Receives SRCC OG-100 Certification

Equipment must be certified for performance by the Solar Rating Certification Corporation (SRCC) to qualify for most state and federal rebates and incentives. Rebates and incentives can offset a substantial percentage of the overall cost of a solar thermal system. Currently, the federal incentive is a 30% Federal Tax Credit for an installed solar thermal system. Many states offer additional rebates which can add dramatically to the overall system savings; for example, the Free Hot Water collector qualifies for a greater rebate than it costs in some states!

The test results and product data are evaluated by SRCC to determine the product’s compliance with the minimum standards for certification and to calculate the performance ratings. Equipment which has been certified and rated by SRCC is required to bear the SRCC certification label which shows the performance rating for that product.
