701B.255 Procedure for selection and notification of participants; authorization to install and energize solar energy system; submission of incentive claim form; determination of amount of incentive; withdrawal of participant; forfeiture of incentive.
1. After reviewing an application submitted pursuant to NRS 701B.250 and ensuring that the applicant meets the qualifications and requirements to be eligible to participate in the Solar Program, a utility may select the applicant for participation in the Solar Program.
2. Not later than 30 days after the date on which the utility selects an applicant, the utility shall provide written notice of the selection to the applicant.
3. After the utility selects an applicant to participate in the Solar Program, the utility may approve the solar energy system proposed by the applicant. Upon the utility’s approval of the solar energy system:
(a) The utility shall provide to the applicant notice of the approval and the amount of incentive for which the solar energy system is eligible; and
(b) The applicant may install and energize the solar energy system.
4. Upon the completion of the installation and energizing of the solar energy system, the participant must submit to the utility an incentive claim form and any supporting information, including, without limitation, a verification of the cost of the project and a calculation of the expected system output.
5. Upon receipt of the incentive claim form and verification that the solar energy system is properly connected, the utility shall issue an incentive payment to the participant.
6. The amount of the incentive for which an applicant is eligible must be determined on the date on which the applicant is selected for participation in the Solar Program, except that an applicant forfeits eligibility for that amount of incentive if the applicant withdraws from participation in the Solar Program or does not complete the installation of the solar energy system within 12 months after the date on which the applicant is selected for participation in the Solar Program. An applicant who forfeits eligibility for the incentive for which the applicant was originally determined to be eligible may become eligible for an incentive only on the date on which the applicant completes the installation of the solar energy system, and the amount of the incentive for which such an applicant is eligible must be determined on the date on which the applicant completes the installation of the solar energy system.
