CEG Technical Assistance Fund - Featured Install

System Specifications and Install Experiences

Clean Energy Group asks that community service providers that install a solar+storage system complete this 10 question survey, which asks about the system's specifications and the project development process. CEG will use your responses to draft a short summary of the project to be published on CEG's website as a 'featured install' (past examples available to view here).

Featured installs are shared with community service providers still developing their solar+storage project to help them navigate the process, anticipate potential barriers, and visualize what a completed project can look like.

Before the featured install is published, CEG will send you the featured install draft and ask for your final approval.

Please answer the following questions to the best of your knowledge.
