Everything you want to know about LEDs
As with any technology, not all LEDs perform equally. In the case of emerging technologies especially, some time will pass before a level of consistently high performance can be achieved across the industry. Recent tests conducted by the Department of Energy revealed that some LED products did not meet manufacturers’ claims and some were no more efficient than conventional light sources.
PG&E Efforts
Purchasing the wrong LED product could be a costly mistake, given their current high prices. This is why PG&E and other California utility companies are working to create programs that will mitigate this risk and help customers select quality LED products appropriate for their applications. Such programs will offer rebates for pre-qualified LED fixtures that meet stringent performance specifications such as those validated by third-party or ENERGY STAR® testing. This site will serve as a portal to information about existing and new PG&E LED programs. Please visit often for updates.
PG&E offers rebates as well as calculated incentives on many LED products, please see the links below and select the option that best fits your project.
