Separate install dates for PowerWall and Panels ... Federal Rebate?

[mmcmonster]

So I took the plunge and will get Tesla solar panels and three PowerWalls. I decided to get the whole thing installed at once. After discussing with the sales person, he wasn't sure if having a split installation (since PowerWalls are delayed by a few months) would allow the PowerWalls to be included on the Federal 30% rebate.

Does anyone know if a separate installation of the PowerWalls would still be eligible for the federal rebate?

(The separate installation would actually be two contracts. One for the panel installation, the second for the battery installation.)

Yes. I installed Powerwalls a year after I got solar and I plan on taking the ITC.
