How to Participate

Here are the basic steps to participate in the Solar Incentive Program:

Step 1: Download and review the complete Program Guidelines.

Step 2: Print and submit a completed 2009 application. Refer to the program requirements page for information on 2009 application submission requirements.

 

Step 3: Your site will be inspected and an inspection form will be completed by a Program team member to ensure compliance with the Program Guidelines.

Step 4: All applications are reviewed by the Program Administrator. 
 
Step 5: You will receive a written Incentive Commitment/Authorization letter which allows you to proceed or, a letter informing you that you are on the waiting list. 
 
Step 6: If approved, contract with a qualified Utah (S200, S201 or S202) electrical contractor to install the photovoltaic system. Contractor will be required to submit a one line electrical diagram for approval. Please note that the purchase or installation of any equipment before application approval will result in disqualification from the program.
 
Step 7: Inform the Program Administrator that your project is completed by calling 1-866-344-9802, fax 1-866-557-5993, or e-mail to solar@rockymtnpower.net. Send the final documentation to the Program Administrator. This includes a "signed-off" building permit, invoice from your contractor (consisting of cost of labor and materials including equipment make and model), Voltage Verification and Application Change Order Forms, and a copy of your signed Net Metering Agreement (see Step 9).

Step 8: A Program Representative will complete safety and meter socket inspections and have you execute the Net Metering Agreement specific to your system. To receive the incentive, you are required to sign and return the executed Net Metering Agreements. If your photovoltaic system meets all utility Standards the representative will schedule the installation of the bi-directional (revenue) meter and Generation meter (see the Utility Standards for more information on meters). Once the new meters are set you are ready to energize your new photovoltaic system!

Step 9: After successful verification of the installation and receipt of the executed Net Metering Agreement, send a signed copy (by you and the Rocky Mountain Power Net Metering representative in your area) to the Program Administrator. After receipt of the signed Net Metering Agreement, the “signed-off” building permit (see Step 7), and the invoice from your contractor (see Step ), the Program Administrator will mail you the incentive check, usually within 60 days. Acceptance of the incentive assigns a portion of the RECs derived from operations of the photovoltaic system to the Utility. The RECs transferred to Rocky Mountain Power will be proportionate to the percentage of cost covered by the utility program incentives relative to the total system project cost (“percentage ownership”).
