Examples: A renewable energy system certified in fiscal year 2019 and generate:
(a) Residential-scale system: Two thousand
five hundred kilowatt-hours; commercial-scale system: Fourteen thousand
kilowatt-hours.
(i) If a residential-scale or
commercial-scale renewable energy system has only solar modules manufactured
out-of-state, the computation is as follows:
(A) Residential-scale: 0.14 × 2,500 =
$350.00;
(B) Commercial-scale: 0.04
× 14,000 = $560.00.
(ii) If a residential-scale or
commercial-scale renewable energy system has all solar modules manufactured in
Washington state, the computation is as follows:
(A) Residential-scale: (0.14 + 0.04) ×
2,500 = $450.00;
(B)
Commercial-scale: (0.04 + 0.04) × 14,000 = $1,120.00.
(iii) If a residential-scale or
commercial-scale renewable energy system has a solar module manufactured in
Washington state combined with additional solar modules manufactured
out-of-state, the computation would be as follows:
(A) Residential-scale: 0.14 × 2,500 =
$350.00;
(B) Commercial-scale: 0.04
× 14,000 = $560.00.
(iv) If residential-scale or commercial-scale
wind generator equipment has an out-of-state turbine combined with a tower
manufactured in Washington state, the computation is as follows:
(A) Residential-scale: (0.14 + 0.04) ×
2,500 = $450.00;
(B)
Commercial-scale: (0.04 + 0.04) × 14,000 = $1,120.00.
(v) If residential-scale wind
generator equipment has both an out-of-state turbine and tower, the computation
is as follows:
(A) Residential-scale: 0.14
× 2,500 = $350.00;
(B)
Commercial-scale: 0.04 × 14,000 = $560.00.
(b) Shared commercial solar
project system: Four million kilowatt-hours.
(i) If a shared commercial system has
out-of-state solar modules, the computation is as follows: 0.04 ×
4,000,000 = $160,000.00. The solar project administrator distributes the
incentive payments consistent with share of participation. If a participant is
involved at five percent of the project, their incentive payment is $160,000.00
× 0.05 = $8,000.00 (contingent on the rates, fees, terms or conditions of
the project).
(ii) If a shared
commercial system has all solar modules manufactured in Washington state, the
computation is as follows: (0.04 + 0.04) × 4,000,000 = $320,000.00. The
solar project administrator distributes the incentive payments consistent with
share of participation. If a participant is involved at five percent of the
project, their incentive payment is $320,000.00 × 0.05 = $16,000.00
(contingent on the rates, fees, terms or conditions of the project).
(c) Community solar project
system: Fifty thousand kilowatt-hours.
(i) If
a community solar energy system has all solar modules manufactured in
Washington state combined with an out-of-state inverter, the computation is as
follows: (0.14 + 0.04) × 50,000 = $9,000.00. The solar project
administrator distributes the incentive payments consistent with share of
participation. If a participant is involved at five percent of the project,
their incentive payment is $9,000.00 × 0.05 = $450.00 (contingent on the
rates, fees, terms or conditions of the project).
(ii) If a community solar energy system has
some solar modules manufactured in Washington state combined with additional
solar modules manufactured out-of-state, the computation is as follows: 0.14
× 50,000 = $7,000.00. The solar project administrator distributes the
incentive payments consistent with share of participation. If a participant is
involved at five percent of the project, their incentive payment is $7,000.00
× 0.05 = $350.00 (contingent on the rates, fees, terms or conditions of
the project).
