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.
- Required Meter Photo – In Part II of the application, AVs often upload incorrect meter photos which results in a Need Info request that will delay application review. Follow these guidelines to ensure you are uploading the correct meter photos in the Documents Uploads section of the Part II application:
- If the inverter and meter are two separate pieces of equipment, submit a photograph of the solar dedicated meter (NOT the utility meter).
- Ensure the photograph clearly shows the current cumulative lifetime meter reading. If the meter does not have a physical display, provide a screenshot of the monitoring portal with the lifetime meter reading.
- Use a screenshot only from the meter portal, not the inverter portal.
- Confirm the cumulative lifetime meter reading is greater than zero.
