Accessing Incentives

  1. Navigate to Pricing and Financing:

    • Open your residential design and head to the Pricing and Financing section.

  2. Incentive Section Overview:

    • Here, you'll find a dropdown menu under Incentives, which displays pre-applied options, such as the federal ITC of 30%.


Creating and Selecting Incentives

Using Existing Incentives:

  1. Select Incentives from the List:

    • Click the dropdown to view existing incentives.

    • Choose an incentive by selecting it from the list.

Creating Custom Incentives:

  1. Click on Create Incentives:

    • Use the Create Incentives button to define a new incentive.

  2. Define Key Parameters:

    • Incentive Name: Specify the name of the new incentive.

    • Incentive Type: Choose one of the following options:

      • Fixed Grant: Set a fixed dollar amount as the incentive (e.g., $15,000).

      • System Cost-Based Grant: Define a percentage of the system cost as an incentive, with an optional hard cap.

        • Example: For an $80,000 system, if the incentive is 50% but capped at $30,000, the incentive will be $30,000.

      • System Production-Based Grant:

        • Specify a dollar amount per kilowatt of system production.

        • Add escalation factors (percentage increase year-on-year).

        • Define the duration for which the incentive applies (e.g., 5 or 10 years).

      • System Size-Based Control:

        • Set a dollar amount per kilowatt of system size.

        • Add an optional hard cap to limit the maximum incentive.


Applying Custom Incentives

  1. Select from the List:

    • Once created, your custom incentives will appear in the dropdown menu.

  2. Add to Design:

    • Select the desired incentive from the list, and it will be applied to your design.
