About this site and how we verify every figure

Last verified: November 11, 2026 · Written and checked by the DuloCore research team

This page explains who runs oaklandsolarincentives.fyi and how every figure on it is checked. If you came for the programs themselves, the incentive checker on the home page is the place to start.

Who publishes this site

This site is published by DuloCore, a California home-energy rebate service. Pages are written and checked by the DuloCore research team. We are not part of the City of Oakland, PG&E, Ava Community Energy, the CPUC or any installer, and we do not rank or recommend installers. The site has no ads, no tracking and no forms; the checker runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.

How we verify figures

  1. Program amounts come from one source list. Every rebate amount starts as a row in DuloCore's verified program catalogue. Before we print it, we open the program's official page the same day and confirm both the amount and the status in the page text. If the official page disagrees with our catalogue, or will not load, we leave the amount out and tell you to check the official page.
  2. Closed programs stay listed. People still search for the federal credit and the general SGIP battery rebate, so we keep them on the program page, marked clearly as ended or closed.
  3. Programs outside the catalogue get a name and a link, not a number. Examples are Ava's export bonus credits and PG&E's Energy Export Bonus Credit.
  4. Federal tax rules come from the IRS. We follow IRS fact sheet FS-2025-05 on Public Law 119-21 and do not suggest any federal credit is available for a 2026 home install.
  5. Costs come from dated sources. Cost figures on the cost page come from sources we opened on the day of checking, cited with the publisher's own date. When sources disagree we show both and say why. We do not apply made-up local multipliers or publish payback periods.
  6. Permit and licensing facts come from the agency. Permit steps cite the City of Oakland's own page, and installer checks cite the Contractors State License Board and the CPUC.

Every page shows a "Last verified" date and ends with a list of its sources and the date we accessed them. Programs change, budgets run out and waitlists open, so the official page always wins over this site.
