Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 10, October 1, 2024

Section 330-240-0130 - Amending or Extending a Reservation

(1) A contractor may make changes to system size or specifications for a solar electric system installation or a paired solar and energy storage system installation after submitting a reservation application and before claiming a rebate.

(2) If a contractor increases the size of an installation for which a reservation application was previously submitted, such that the customer is eligible for a larger rebate amount than the initial reservation application, the increase in rebate amount is subject to availability of funds as of the date the amended application is approved by the Department.

(3) If a contractor adds energy storage to a solar electric system already having a reservation for a rebate under the program, such that the installation becomes a paired solar and storage system, the contractor must submit a new reservation application which will receive a new time and date stamp in the Department's software system. The rebate amount for a paired solar and storage system under this paragraph is subject to availability of funds as of the date the new reservation application for the paired solar and storage application is approved by the Department.

(4) At the end of the 180-day reservation period, the Department may grant one 180-day extension to each reservation upon request for any reason. At the end of the 360-day extended reservation period, one final additional 180-day extension may be granted to each reservation upon request for any reason.

(5) The Department may grant additional 180-day extensions for a reservation for a low-income service provider upon the contractor submitting documentation that the project is making progress toward completion. Such documentation could include evidence that the project is meeting construction benchmarks or maintains valid site construction permits.
