really could have been electrical or mechanical. We submitted
electrical. It doesn’t seem to be a comprehensive review process,
just some validation of the installation. The third party commissioning consisted
of a letter drafted by us and signed by the inverter manufacturer( they had
online production tracking) in one case and the turbine manufacturer(factory
rep. had seen the installation) in another.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Hi All......just wanted to see if any of you have been having success
with applying for and recieving the federal tax credit grant for commercial
systems.....what kind of time frames have they been following from application
to payout, have they been requiring any unforseen engineering reports or other
unexpected documentation?<br>
We have a few applications we are about to submit and want to make sure we are
as efficient as possible.....we heard of one solar customer who was given 21
days to come up with a engineering report on a project that was relatively
small home based roof mounted business.....none of the local jurisdictions
required engineering reports for that project so now a report could have to be
commissioned......<br>
I am just trying to plan for any unexpected requirements ahead of time....<br>
Thanks for any advice! <br>
