Definition claim verification: Verified August 20, 2026

In plain language

Before relying on Solar incentive eligibility, verify the current program, jurisdiction, eligibility date, ownership terms, and controlling document for the actual project.

What it is not

It is not established by a salesperson's estimate, an old program summary, a neighboring project, or the mere presence of solar equipment.

Decision context

Why it matters

Use current primary program authority and the actual transaction; distinguish reservation from final approval, tax eligibility from tax capacity, and placed-in-service or expenditure dates from contract dates.
