2010 PVREA RENEWABLE ENERGY REBATE APPLICATION.

Section 1 – Instructions and Program Overview

1.1 Instructions: This form must be completed if you are applying for a PVREA renewable energy rebate. You must also
complete a Poudre Valley REA Generating Facility Application For Residential (Only Residential?) Renewable
Energy Net-Metering Systems in conjunction with this form and deliver both forms together, if you are applying for a
rebate. If you do not intend to apply for a rebate, you need only complete the Poudre Valley REA Generating Facility
Application For Residential Renewable Energy Net-Metering Systems.

1.2 Program Overview: PVREA Renewable Energy Rebates are provided on a first come first service basis at this time.
We do not use a lottery system but are considering it for 2011 and beyond. Applicants are chosen that meet the Rebate
Requirements (section 2) and will be offered a rebate reservation letter defining the rebate amount, construction
completion deadlines and any other conditions required to connect your system to ours. Applicants that begin
construction prior to signing a rebate reservation letter from PVREA will be disqualified from rebate eligibility. If you
are not able to commit to using your rebate and installing your system, we will go on to the next eligible applicant. At
your request, your application will either be either thrown away or re-dated with the date you tell us that you cannot
proceed. If re-dated you will hold that place in line for future rebates. However, if new criteria apply, you will have to
meet the new criteria. If you choose to have your application thrown away, you will have to reapply to qualify for any
future rebates. Once you accept your reservation letter, you must complete a Poudre Valley REA Generating Facility
Application For Residential Renewable Energy Net-Metering Systems.

Section 2 – Rebate Requirements

2.1 Minimum Rebate Requirements:
 Applicants must be Poudre Valley REA customers.
 Application must be for Photo-Voltaic Solar systems. Wind and Solar thermal rebates are not available from
PVREA at this time.
 Applicants must have an energy audit of their home that includes a blower door test. The audit must be completed
by a RESNET or BPI certified auditor. While no pass/fail criteria are in place at this time, we strongly encourage
you to take the energy audit seriously and implement suggested improvements. Doing so may save you money by
requiring a smaller PV system and energy efficiency improvements always show a better pay back than renewable
energy system installation.
