How does the rebate work? Do you send in copies of your receipt to some government agency and they send you a check?
Sorry for not being clearer

the Lithium setup installed is $4250, if you don't get the solar option at that time, you must add tax to that that amount.
So $4547.

With Solar savings
Lithium set $4250 x 30% = $1275
Now add solar $789 x 30% = $236.70

total with solar $5039 after rebate + no sales tax + $3527

so grand total $3527


ADVANTAGES OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
  • High power to weight ratio as compared to Lead acidic, Nicd, NiFe.
  • Less space required for installation.
  • These batteries are maintenance free.
  • High cycle life between 5000-7000 cycles (For especially designed Lithium Ion storage batteries for the solar applications).
  • High charging and discharging efficiency, above 95%.
  • Capable to produce most of its stored energy with very high discharging rate.
  • Depth of discharge is 80% for optimum cycle life.
  • Capable to produce 100% of its stored energy.
  • Tolerate high charging rates.
  • Long service life between 10-20 years (Depends on the brand).
  • Very low self discharging nature.
  • never lose their charge if stored for months at a time (as in snow birds)
  • Wide temperature range for discharging.
  • No memory effect, no need to fully discharge before recharging as other nickel batteries require doing that.
