How to receive your incentive payment (Grid-tied system):

1. Submit the following:
   
   • A completed and signed reservation application
   • An itemized quote for all system and installation costs. The quote must include the manufacturer and model number of the solar panels and, if applicable, the inverter.
     
     
2. Receive reservation confirmation from APS.
   Review, sign and return the agreement. When your reservation has been reviewed, you will receive written notification that your reservation was approved or denied.
   
   Along with your approval notification, you will receive an agreement which includes:
   
   • The terms and conditions for interconnecting your system to the grid
   • Information about the APS purchase of your renewable energy credits (RECs).
   • Details about how we compensate you for power you return to the grid.
     
     
3. Complete and submit an  interconnection application and   site plan diagram.
   Your installer can provide the necessary technical information and is also required to sign the form.
   
   
4. Receive preliminary confirmation from APS that your system design meets all interconnection requirements.
   Final approval will be provided only after an on-site interconnection inspection.
   
   
5. Obtain any local permits and proceed with installation of your system.
   After installation, obtain necessary municipal clearances ("green tag"). Typically your installer will assist you in obtaining permits and clearance. Contact APS Renewables when system has received final clearance.
   
   
6. Contact APS to schedule an interconnection inspection.
   After your system has passed the inspection, the APS inspector will activate your system. You will also be sent written confirmation that your system has passed inspection.
   
   Activating your system prior to passing the APS inspection is extremely hazardous and is in violation of the term and conditions of your interconnection agreement. Only an APS representative may activate your system.
   
   
7. Request your incentive payment.
   Your request should include:
   
   • An installation certification form signed by both your equipment dealer and installer.
   • Receipt confirming the system purchase price, payment, and installation by an Arizona licensed contractor.
