The Program Administrator publishes Tips and Tricks to help support stakeholders in avoiding project applications from resulting in a Need Info request and delaying their review and approval.
- In August, the Program Administrator began sending Need Info requests for systems with arrays facing outside of installation best practices – those with an azimuth greater than 270 or less than 90, or with a tilt greater than 80 degrees. This is an effort to understand what’s driving the design choices for such systems.
- If an AV receives a Need Info request for this information, no substantiating documentation is required, just a brief explanation for why the array azimuth and/or tilt is not within generally accepted best practices for Illinois.
- AVs may preempt this Need Info request by proactively providing a brief explanation in the ‘Overview Comment’ section of the application.
