Other members on this forum have had success by marking 9 out of the 13 activities. You should mark all those activities you "could" do. Some folks have written in detail in earlier posts which activities they were able to mark off. Unfortunately, SGIP is not interpreting the rules according to the handbook it would seem.Well, my SGIP developer application was just kicked back:
I think they made some mistakes, here. The question they want me to answer yes to reads in full:
I would only have one project, at most, so of course the answer is no! And why do I have to know who will be performing the other development tasks at this stage?
Furthermore, this "substantial amount of the development activities" requirement does not apply to "individual homeowners applying for SGIP incentives for systems located on their own property" (according to the handbook).
Seems to me they are not following their own rules.
If you mention Tesla at this point in the application process, they will most likely take your rebate out of Tesla's developer's cap, Tesla will be very very angry with you for doing this. They have threatened other's that they won't do the install. I would write SGIP and explain to them that you don't know the installer/developer yet because you are still "developing" your project.
