Yes, for SDGE area the money has been re-allocated but not for long. The CSI money is base on web calculation.
I would prefer the installer offer the credit after 90 days, because if they offer the discount out front you would lost the 30% tax credit from Fed incentive. agree? You actually getting more discount.
For example
If solar Job cost you $10,000. Let's say your CSI money is $500
Usually it will be $10,000 - $500 = $9,500
Fed incentive of 30% will be $9,500 X 30% = $2,850.
You net price will be $9500 - $2850 = $6,650
Now without the CSI or installer's rebate after 90 day:
Solar job $10,000
Fed incentive of 30% will be $3000
Your net price is $10,000 - $3,000 = $7,000
after 90 days you get $500 from installer
actual net price is $7,000 - $500 = $6,500
It is not much differnt but you get the idea of $6,650 vs $6,500
