While most Solar trade allies are aware that Energy Trust’s weekly Solar Incentive Status Report provides the most up-to-date incentive rates, many are not aware that the report can help them forecast future incentive rates. Incentive allocations and reservations remaining for that allocation, along with future incentive steps, are all outlined in the report.

Status bars beneath the incentive rates visually represent remaining budget allocations at that rate. For example, the PGE Battery Storage for Homes allocation is slightly less than 50% reserved as of April 25.

Subsequent pages detail past, present and future incentive steps, budget allocations at each step, incentive reservations for each allocation, remaining incentive funds at each step, and the approximate number of applications remaining at that step.

To ensure incentive rates are quoted correctly to customers, trade allies should regularly check the Status Report. Staff members who regularly quote incentive rates may also find Energy Trust’s Market Summary Report useful.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact your account manager or solar@energytrust.org.
