Check the Program Before the Project Moves Too Far.
Ask what program may apply to this building, this equipment, and this project at this point in the process.
Program Information Can Change.
Confirm current requirements with the applicable program administrator before relying on an incentive for a project decision.
Find the Opportunity. Check the Requirements. Protect the Project Sequence.
Incentives can affect project economics, but the building opportunity should exist independently of the incentive.
Capture the incentive without building the project around it.

Potential Is Not Approved
- Potential Incentive
Something that may apply, based on current program rules as understood today.
- Approved Incentive
A decision a program administrator has actually made about this project.
Eligibility
Potential eligibility may depend on any of the following.
- Utility
- Customer or rate class
- Property
- Equipment
- Timing
- Documentation
- Funding
- Other current program rules
Where Assumptions Break
Product Eligibility Is Not Project Approval
An eligible product does not by itself establish that the customer, project, timing, funding, or application will be approved.
Timing Can Matter
Some programs require steps before purchase, installation, or commitment. Verify the actual program rather than universalizing the rule.
Funding Can Change
A published program does not guarantee reserved funding, and approved does not automatically mean paid.
How the Calculator Treats an Incentive
An incentive you enter affects net investment and simple payback. It does not change modeled kWh or annual energy-cost reduction.
Net project investment equals project cost minus the incentive you enter.
