Who files it, and how the money reaches you
Your installing contractor files it. You never see a cheque. The rebate is filed against your project and shows up as a credit on the job, which is why the contractor has to be inside the program network before the work starts.
Your contractor files the paperwork; PSE credits the project.
PSE requires a contractor inside its network
PSE pays this class of rebate only when the work is done by a Trade Ally or Recommended Energy Professional — DIY and out-of-network installations are excluded, however good the workmanship. Ask us to confirm network status for your specific project before you count on the money, and get the answer before you sign anything.
What it stacks with
Programs that can sit on top of this one, each with its own conditions.
Stacking is a claim about program terms, not arithmetic. We build totals from the programs that have confirmed they combine, and quote anything unconfirmed as a separate line so you are never counting on a number twice.
