Incentive & Rebate Paperwork

Q: Can the automation handle program rule changes and new incentive programs?

Yes, the eligibility rules database can be updated when programs change or new incentives launch. Your team maintains control over which programs and rules are active.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing job management system?

The automation integrates with common data sources like spreadsheets and email. Your implementation team will configure the specific connections to your systems during setup.

Q: What happens if a form is rejected or needs corrections?

Rejection notifications are tracked automatically, and the system flags which fields caused the issue. Your team reviews the feedback and can resubmit with corrections.

Q: How does the automation handle different form formats across programs?

Each program's form structure is mapped once during setup. The automation then applies the correct field mappings for every project, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

Keep every rebate claim on track without chasing forms, deadlines, or utility portals by hand.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Project Completion Detectedtrigger

A solar installation project is marked complete in the job management system or spreadsheet. The automation platform monitors for new completed projects.

2. Extract Project Data

The automation platform reads project details, including customer name, address, system size, equipment, and installation date.

3. Identify Eligible Programs

The automation evaluates the project against a rules database of federal, state, and utility incentive programs to determine which ones the project qualifies for.

4. Populate Application Forms

For each eligible program, the automation platform downloads the application form and auto-fills fields with the extracted project data.

5. Validate Form Completeness

The automation platform checks each form for missing required fields and data formatting errors, flagging any issues for manual review.

6. Submit Applications

Completed and validated forms are submitted to each program portal or sent via email to the program administrator. Submission details are logged.
