Application Tips and Tricks – Data Discrepancies

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. 

  • Data discrepancies remain one of the highest causes for applications to result in a Need Info request, especially for Part II applications. To avoid a delay, below are key items to check before submitting your application: 
  • Customer name and project address on the application should match all documentation provided unless otherwise explained. 
  • Total number of modules should match between the application, plot map, and project photographs. Photographs should show modules clearly so they can be counted. 
  • Relevant documents must be included. A common error is uploading documents for a different project. 
  • The inverter model type on the application must match the inverter photograph. 
  • Project details in the application must match what is in the Standing Order (GATS/M-RETS). 
  • Any intentional discrepancies should be explained in the Part II ‘Overview Comments’ field.
