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.
- Battery Backup: As energy storage becomes increasingly more common as an add-on to solar projects, it is important to understand how to successfully note battery backup components in the application.
- Part II Section 4 of the application “Equipment Details” includes a battery prompt ‘Does your system have a battery backup?’ with a dropdown menu allowing a “Yes” or “No” selection.
- If the system does include a battery backup, please answer “Yes” and ensure that the battery schematic document has been uploaded as a Part II Document.
- Indicating that a battery backup exists but not including a schematic will result in a Need Info request that will delay application review.
- If the system does not include a battery backup, please answer “No.” No additional schematics are expected to be uploaded with the project documentation for systems that do not include a battery backup.
