Nev. Admin. Code § 701B.165

Current through October 11, 2024

Section 701B.165 - Prerequisites to payment of incentive; action on claim; rejection of project; reapplication for reservation of incentive

1. Once a project to install a solar energy system with a capacity of not more than 25 kilowatts is completed, the applicant may request payment of the one-time incentive amount, which must be based on the nameplate capacity of the installed solar energy system and which must not exceed the incentive listed on the confirmed reservation.

2. After the completion of a project to install a solar energy system with a capacity of more than 25 kilowatts but less than 500 kilowatts, the applicant may request the commencement of the payment of the performance-based incentive described by the confirmed reservation and in the contract with the utility.

3. A project is considered completed when it is completely installed, interconnected, permitted and capable of producing electricity in the manner and in the amounts for which it was designed.

4. To receive the one-time incentive payment or to initiate the payment of the performance-based incentive:

(a) All requirements of the Solar Program must be met;

(b) A complete claim form must be submitted, in hard copy or electronically, by the expiration date listed for the project on its confirmed reservation, including, without limitation, any documentation verifying the installed cost of the project pursuant to subsection 4 of NRS 701B.255; and

(c) The host customer must enter into a net metering agreement with the utility.

5. If a claim form is incomplete or is found to require clarification, the utility shall request the information necessary to process that application further. If the applicant has not submitted the requested information within 20 calendar days after receipt of the request, the request for payment may be denied. If a claim form is not received by the expiration date for the project, or if the project is otherwise ineligible, the utility shall send a written notice to the applicant stating the reasons why the project is ineligible and the project is rejected. If a project is rejected, the applicant or host customer may reapply for the reservation of an incentive but will be subject to the eligibility requirements, incentive levels and funding available at the time of reapplication.
