Utility Rebate & Incentive Program Support
Services Offered in Utility Rebate & Incentive Program Support
This service is the direct line to maximizing your clients' profitability and minimizing their capital expenditure. Alpha Energy Solutions ensures your projects are engineered and documented specifically to secure available financial incentives.
1. Program Identification and Qualification
- Service: We research the local utility (e.g., PSEG, NYSERDA, Mass Save, APS, ComEd, PG&E) and state/federal programs applicable to the project's technology (HVAC, lighting, controls) and location. We confirm the project's eligibility and the specific requirements for participation.
- Value: Saves the client significant time and ensures they pursue the most valuable and relevant incentives available.
2. Pre-Approval Modeling and Documentation
- Service: We use our ASHRAE Calibrated Simulation and DOE-approved tools to generate the specific pre-approval reports, baseline calculations, and energy savings projections required by the utility. This typically involves proving the new system saves more energy than required by code.
- Value: Establishes the project's savings claim early in the process and secures the utility's commitment to the incentive amount, minimizing financial risk.
3. Guaranteed Rebate Reporting
- Service: We create the final, certified documentation packages required for incentive payout. This includes detailed energy models, technical specifications, and compliance forms filled out to the utility's precise standards.
- Value: This service is the core of our business promise—it guarantees the technical validity of the submission, leading to fast and successful rebate approvals and final funding sign-off.
4. Ongoing Program Liaison
- Service: We act as the technical liaison between the contractor/client and the utility program manager, addressing any technical questions, clarifying modeling assumptions, and making necessary documentation adjustments until the rebate check is issued.
- Value: Removes the administrative burden and technical hurdles from the contractor, ensuring seamless cash flow.
