-The process to access grant funds begins with applying well in advance for an energy audit.
– If you are sure you would like to pursue a solar electric system, get a feasibility evaluation before the audit day! Not are properties are a good fit for solar.
– If solar PV is feasible, then to secure the grant after you do the solar installation.
A few quick points for getting the NR Can grant:
The home has to belong to the applicant.
The home has to be at least 6 months since constructed.
You have to get the energy audit first, then get the retrofits done, then get the energy auditor back for a recheck to confirm the retrofits were done, and the auditor processes the grant application.
As soon as the solar is installed and passes electrical inspection you can start harvesting the sun while you await the grant to be processed.
