Rebates that qualify with mPOWER financing
The following rebates may be available for projects that are financed through mPOWER. mPOWER does not administer these programs. Review the information, check with your contractor and see what additional savings may be available to you. Please note: only Performance Based Incentives can be financed with an mPOWER project. All other rebates must be noted on the contract’s bid. Project amounts will be approved net of any rebates.
