NGEN Update for Solar PV Projects

We have recently adjusted the upfront requirements when submitting a Smart-E job in NGEN for Solar PV projects. You will not be required to submit the Utility Interconnect Application (the RRES application) when submitting a Smart-E Job, it’s now noted as optional (see screenshot).

You can still provide us with the Utility Interconnect Approval letter to receive an additional disbursement (review more about that here), but we request that you submit this in a new section (NOT in the COC tab).

 

To do this: open the Job in NGEN, scroll to the “Documents” area and upload the Interconnect Approval letter by selecting “Upload Document” then select “Choose File” in the pop-up window (green arrows in screenshot), then close the pop-up box and select “Save Changes” (orange arrow in screenshot). This will save that document to the portal and notify the Smart-E team to review that document, we will then notify the lender to release an additional disbursement.
