Hey There Dean and Mo,

Why isn't  it easy, Dean?  Back in New England 
it's as easy as making out an application and 
perhaps a phone call.

This may be due to the fact that in MA, the Mass 
Technology Collaborative required a separate KWH 
meter in order to get the rebate and this is read 
and reported to MTC through their tracking 
system.  Mainstay and two or three of their 
competitors accept this reporting data and send 
them 4-6¢/KWH.  The reporting is on an honor 
system.

But it's just a simple contract between Mainstay 
or equivalent and the customer.   I imagine they 
would accept inverter KWH meter data.   What 
makes it any harder here?

Jeff C.
