How to Apply:

- Pre-Approval: Obtain pre-approval from ECE to ensure that your project is eligible for the rebate.
- Installation and Documentation: After approval, proceed with the installation. Keep all relevant receipts and documentation, as these will be required for rebate processing.
Tips for Maximizing Your Rebate:
- Plan Your Project Carefully: Given the cap of $25,000 and the requirement that the rebate cannot exceed 50% of project costs, it’s beneficial to plan your project budget to maximize the rebate amount.
- Early Application: Due to the funding limit and potential changes in the rebate amount, applying early in the program cycle is advisable to secure the best incentive.
