Owatanna Public Utilities provides incentives for their residential and commercial customers to install photovoltaic (PV) and solar water heating systems. Qualifying PV systems can earn a flat rebate of $500; eligible solar water heating systems can earn $15 per square foot of collector area.
In order to obtain eligibility, customers must agree to a net-metering and interconnection contract with Owatanna Public Utilities. An energy audit must be performed prior to system installation and results shared with OPU.
Rebates are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The 30% federal residential clean energy credit (IRC Section 25D) was repealed for systems installed after 31 December 2025 and is no longer available. OPU obtains the right to withdraw the program at any time without notice.
Application forms with additional information are available on the program web site.
