Feature Improvement:
  • AVs with multiple Vendor IDs now have ability to view any of their Vendor IDs’ Disclosure Forms or Applications. As part of the November 1, 2022 re-opening of TCS applications, Community Solar AVs will be able to select any of their Vendor IDs in order to create a Part I application.
 Data Migration:
  • Part I applications that were submitted or in progress in the legacy portal, and which were not yet associated with a batch ID, are now visible in the portal. These applications, with the exception of Traditional Community Solar projects that were previously waitlisted, will be available for batching on October 27, 2022. The Program Administrator is continuing importing of legacy portal Traditional Community Solar applications.
 System Maintenance and Outages:
  • As previously shared, planned portal maintenance is scheduled for tonight, Friday, October 21 at 8:00 p.m. CT, to implement technical enhancements in support of users. The maintenance is expected to last between 30 minutes and two hours, during which time users will be unable to access the portal.

  • In support of the batching release on October 27, 2022, extended office hours are being offered by the Program Administrator on Thursday, October 27 from 8:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. CT and 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. CT, and on Friday, October 28 from 8:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. CT and 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. CT.
