Wait, I received grant funding, can I still generate and sell credits?
It depends. Some grants require that you transfer the rights to the environmental credits produced from your solar project, while others do not. The answer will be in the terms and conditions you signed. Contact us if you have questions about eligibility. Note: We look for a clause in your contract that “conveys environmental attributes” or “conveys environmental credits” to the government.
