Financing Solutions: MadiSUN participants are eligible for incentives and financing to lower their costs even further. Participants can receive a Federal Tax Credit equal to 30% of the cost of their system. Through Wisconsin's Focus on Energy program, solar electric systems qualify for up to a $2400 cash rebate. Madison homeowners also have the ability to finance 100% of the cost of their system through a low-interest, fixed-rate loan through the Solar Energy Loan Program.
