To keep this alive, I just received my State Certification number this morning. My project was installed in mid-March 2021, inspection approval 5/9/22, received PTO 7/9/22 from JCP&L. Effectively, it's taken 1 year of frustration to get my TREC certificate because of incorrect paperwork being submitted multiple times, claims of the NJ solar team being understaffed, and being selected for a NJ Clean Energy inspection. I've registered at GATS and am waiting for asset approval. If anyone needs a contact at Tesla's local NJ team, please PM me - it took 6 months to find someone who would give up a state focused employee's email address so I could push this along.
Also, for those that are approved and getting checks - what do you use to submit your generation info? Numbers from the Tesla app? Something from a utility bill or meter? It would be helpful to prepare in advance of submitting a year's worth of data...
