Fall 2011 Solar Rebate Extended
9/15/11: MassCEC announces additional funds for Block 7 (Quarter 3 2011) Commonwealth Solar II rebate program. Read more...
From MassCEC September 15, 2011
MassCEC is pleased to provide the following important updates regarding the Commonwealth Solar II Rebate Program.(Visit www.CommonwealthSolar.org for more info)
Additional Funds Available For Block 7
Block 7 of the Commonwealth Solar II Rebate Program is currently open. Given the tremendous interest in the program, we have added an additional $2 million to the current funding block, bringing the total available funding to $3 million for Block 7. Block 7 will remain open until all of the funds are reserved or until the end of the third quarter (September 30, 2011), whichever occurs sooner.
Given the high volume of applications, we request that installers work to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the applications and documentation being submitted. More than half of the applications submitted thus far in Block 7 have required at least one follow up email due to missing or unclear information. Additionally, 44 percent of the projects that have submitted project completion paperwork since May 2011 have required at least one follow up email. These errors and ambiguities prolong the review process and significantly delay rebate awards and payments. We appreciate your effort to ensure a quick and efficient review process and help further solar energy development in Massachusetts.
