Cool Roof Program
What is it?
You can earn a rebate up to $0.60 per square foot up to $15,000 for installing a cool roof system above conditioned spaces. This program is designed to decrease heat transfer through reflectance, improve comfort and reduce commercial heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) load.
How does it work?
Available to commercial/industrial customers with a roof area that includes a dedicated electric HVAC system. The cool roof system must reflect at least 70 percent of the solar radiation, have a thermal emittance greater than 0.75 and be installed by a licensed contractor. In addition, the systems must have an Energy Star labeled roof product based on ASTE E-903 or ASTM C-1549 testing.
How do I participate?
To participate, please follow these simple steps:
- Download and submit the commercial Cool Roof program application, along with all required documentation noted on the application guidelines (manufacturer's specification sheets and a copy of your proposal), to Tampa Electric. Once your application is received, a Tampa Electric representative will notify you if the project does or does not qualify for a rebate. Tampa Electric may also schedule an on-site pre-verification.
- After Tampa Electric conducts the pre-verification and approves the rebate, you may begin the work.
- Once the work is complete, notify Tampa Electric that you are ready for a post-verification and submit a copy of your paid invoice. A Tampa Electric representative may schedule an on-site post-verification and then process the rebate check after the program guidelines are met. Please allow four weeks for processing.
