Applicants must report total eligible project costs and supporting details in PowerClerk, typically using the Eligible Project Cost Form. Eligible costs may include solar and integrated storage equipment, related electrical and panel upgrades, engineering and design, construction and installation costs, interconnection fees, permitting, and certain structural or minor roof repairs directly related to the project.

SOMAH then compares the total incentives (solar, storage, and other non-tax incentives) to the reported eligible project costs. SOMAH incentives may cover up to the full cost of the portion of the system that offsets tenant load; however, total SOMAH incentives combined with other incentives may not exceed total eligible project costs.

If the combined incentive amount exceeds eligible project costs, the SOMAH incentive will be reduced so that the total does not exceed this limit.
