Mississippi Power offers low-to-moderate income residential customers a one-time $3,000 cash incentive on a first-come, first-served basis when installing a renewable distributed generation facility with a capacity of at least 4 kW-DC (and one that does not generate more than 110% of the customer's year annual peak demand). 

The utility also offers the Battery Storage Incentive Program, but customers are only allowed to choose one of the two incentives, and no incentive will be available beyond 2027.

As part of its Renewable Portfolio Standard, Illinois operates two SREC purchase programs to support deployment of solar photovoltaic generation.

By offering more generous REC prices than the Illinois Shines program, the Illinois Solar for All program incents low-income residents (as well as non-profit and public facilities) to participate in solar projects, whether as a system owner, community solar project subscriber, or system host.

The Illinois Solar for All Program consists of four sub-programs: the Low-Income Single-Family and Small Multifamily Solar Incentive (also referred

The Illinois Shines Program is a state-administered solar incentive program created to facilitate the development of new photovoltaic distributed generation and community solar projects through the issuance of renewable energy credit delivery contracts. At least 50% of Illinois's solar REC procurement target must be supplied through this program.

Illinois Shines contains six program categories: 1) Small DG (less than or equal to 25 kW); 2) Large DG (greater than 25 kW up to 5 MW); 3) Traditional Community Solar; 4)

A business establishing a new wind power facility in Illinois that is not located in an Enterprise Zone* may be eligible for designation as a "High Impact Business" (HIB). After receiving the designation, the facility is entitled to a full exemption of the state sales tax (6.25%) and any additional local state sales taxes (up to an additional 3.5%) for building materials incorporated into the facility. 

A wind power facility must be new or an expansion of an existing facility and placed in service on or after July 1, 2009. It must generate electricity using wind turbines that have a

Focus on Energy helps businesses, farms, and municipalities in Wisconsin with funding for installing or planning renewable energy systems. They offer rebates for solar PV systems, custom incentives for renewables like biomass, biogas, solar thermal, and wind, and support for feasibility studies to assess project viability. To qualify, projects must meet eligibility requirements for equipment, utility participation, application timing, and payback periods.
If you’re considering a renewable energy project, check whether your utility participates, review the eligible technologies, and submit the required applications before you start installation to reserve your rebate.

Current Municipal codes provide some solar access protections to adjacent properties. Mostly in relation to new development proposals.

Regards the maximum floor area ratio regulation for the city of Oakland. It specifies the conditions for a conditional use permit for an FAR or up to 3.0 in the HBX-3 and HBX-4 zones. Including that “the additional Floor Area Ratio does not significantly decrease the solar access of existing adjacent single family homes or duplexes to a degree greater than would be created if the facility were built according to the base FAR.”
