The Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association (RCMA) and the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) created a database of current information on rebates and tax credits for installing reflective roofs. Created exclusively for use by RCMA members, the customized search tool can be used to find the most up-to-date listings on local, state, federal, and utility financial incentives for reflective roofs across the United States.
