Rebates for ENERGY STAR Appliances E-mail
User Rating: / 0
PoorBest 
More than 70% of the energy used in our homes is for appliances, refrigeration, space heating, cooling, and water heating. Replacing old appliances and equipment with those that are ENERGY STAR® labeled can help American families save significantly on their utility bills. Each state and territory may select its own set of ENERGY STAR qualified products to rebate. DOE has recommended that states select from among the following appliances:
  • Boilers
  • Central air conditioners
  • Clothes washers
  • Dishwashers
  • Freezers
  • Furnaces (oil and gas)
  • Heat pumps (air source and geothermal)
  • Refrigerators
  • Room air conditioners
  • Water heaters More Information on Rebates for ENERGY STAR Appliances

    EERE Financial Opportunities
    Financial opportunities and solicitations for business, industry, and universities from DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE).
    • SunShot Incubator Program - Soft Cost Reduction
      Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0000607
      Funding Organization: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
      Open Date: 2011-11-15
      Close Date: 2012-03-05
      Funds Available:
      Description:

      DOE is supporting the development of tools and approaches that will reduce balance of system non-hardware costs for solar energy systems. These soft costs—expenses associated with permitting, financing, interconnection, and inspection—can account for approximately half of the total expense of photovoltaic installations.

      As part of the SunShot Incubator program, this funding opportunity is designed to help small businesses and entrepreneurs develop data-driven tools, innovative programs, and streamlined processes that will make solar more accessible for Americans. This solicitation builds on the Incubator program's proven success with photovoltaic technologies to begin targeting market barriers. By addressing all sectors of the solar energy economy, the SunShot Initiative works to reduce the total installed cost of photovoltaic systems.

    • SunShot Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development
      Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0000595
      Funding Organization: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
      Open Date: 2011-10-25
      Close Date: 2012-02-07
      Funds Available:
      Description:

      The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to fund revolutionary applied scientific research that develops highly disruptive Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies that will meet 6 cents per kWh cost target by the end of the decade. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for SunShot Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development intends to support research into technologies that have the potential for much higher efficiency, lower cost, and/or more reliable performance than existing commercial and near-commercial CSP systems and their expected incremental progress in future years.

      As part of the SunShot Initiative, this applied research program is intended to demonstrate and prove new concepts in the collector, receiver, and power cycle subsystems, including associated hardware and manufacturing processes. These developments should lead to subsequent system integration, engineering scale-up, and eventual commercial production for electricity generation applications. The SunShot CSP program is designed to look beyond incremental near-term innovation and explore transformative concepts with the potential to break through performance barriers as known today, such as efficiency and temperature limitations. These goals support the mission of the DOE SunShot Initiative.

      There are four topics to which an application may be submitted under this FOA:

      • Topic 1: Advanced Collectors
      • Topic 2: Advanced Receivers
      • Topic 3: Advanced Power Cycles
      • Topic 4: Seedling CSP Concepts
